It should be buyable at Manhattan

Er... why didn't you just put a link from where he could get it??

The ones who have havn't...
The ones who don't do...

FLMM includes some battleship mods, and the FLMM thread has links to other battleship, cruiser, and gunboat mods. Much easier than spending half an hour editing a bunch of ini files .
