Wappen von Hamburg, Endymion, Indefatigable waiting as redeemables - what about the upcoming asset wipe?

[Tilvaltar]

I haven't played Naval Action for some months, I have 40000 XP points and 50 million gold (PvE), and because I read about an upcoming asset wipe I started the game to see what had changed since I played the last time - and I found three redeemable ships waiting for me: a Wappen von Hamburg, an Endymion, and an Indefatigable. Why did I get them, and when? Will these redeemables be lost when the assets are wiped in April? (If yes, what are they good for then?)

To test them?  We've had those redeemable ships for a few months already

My understanding is that they, too, will be wiped.  As above, they were given out en masse for testing.  You should feel free to do so now.

In answer to the "why" you got them:

the Endy and Indefat were given to make up for the fine woods (ahem) negative results experiment. The Wappen was a New Years gift from the Devs.

I used the wappen once. Thats about it.
