Pacific Historic Parks (PHP) touches the lives of school children, WWII veterans, Pearl Harbor Survivors, local communities, and a continually growing number of park visitors. As a nonprofit PHP supports and funds educational and interpretive programs for the following parks; World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument at Pearl Harbor; War In The Pacific National Historical Park in Guam; American Memorial Park in Saipan; Diamond Head State Monument on Oahu; Honouliuli National Monument on Oahu and Kalaupapa National Historical Park on Molokai. http://www.pacifichistoricparks.org/
The USS Arizona Memorial is built over the sunken wreckage of the USS Arizona, the final resting place for many of the 1,177 crewmen killed on December 7, 1941 when Japanese Naval Forces bombed Pearl Harbor. The Pearl Harbor Visitor Center includes two museums that tell the story of the attack on Pearl Harbor and World War II. The National Park Services hands out 1,300 free walk-in tickets daily, on a first-come, first-serve basis. Entrance to the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center and museums is also free.

Patch 1.21 Released
The 1.21 patch for Steam has just been released. This patch addresses:
- bugs with player turns in campaigns
- bugs with battles turns not ending
- AI transports now retreat instead of forcing you to hunt them down if they don't stand a chance
- minor ui bug fixes
- game showcase videos can be closed by pressing the More Games button
Thanks for everyone's patience, I know that some of these bugs caused critical issues with the game so hopefully they will now be resolved.
The next update will make the other factions playable in single battles, and include a few other tweaks. Keep an eye out for that later this year.
Atlantic Campaign Now Available
You've conquered the Pacific, now it's time to test your skills in the brand new Atlantic Campaign with the 1.20 update of Battle Fleet 2. This is a massive free update that includes:
Full Atlantic Campaign - play as the Allies or Axis in historical or clean slate modes
Troop Transports - required to conquer certain territories, add a whole new layer of strategy
10 New Single Battle and Multiplayer Maps modeled after real world Atlantic locations
AI improvements - carriers & transports evade, better campaign AI
Russian language added
Balance and stat tweaks
Ship build limits at shipyards
Bug Fixes
Now that the update is released there will be new updates coming more regularly including new ships, airplane types, and lots of awesome new features in the pipeline for the future of Battle Fleet 2.
Warning: If you are in the middle of a Pacific campaign, it's best to wait before updating as your save game might be lost due to the major changes in this update. If you do risk it and your save opens fine, just be aware that transports won't be necessary in that campaign, only in new campaigns you start.
Troop Transports
The Atlantic Campaign update will also include the new Troop Transports feature in the game. These transports will be required to take over certain territories. I'm looking for some feedback on the proposed functionality of the transports, if you have a minute please fill out this very short questionnaire with your thoughts:
Battle Fleet 2 is part of the Steam Summer Sale, it will be 50% off for a limited time. If you already own the game, why not buy a copy for your friends and battle them in online multiplayer!
The development of the upcoming Atlantic Campaign update is going well and we now have most of the new territories created as well as a few new features. One of the new gameplay features in this update will be the addition of troop transports. This should bring a whole new dimension to the strategy of the campaign map as your fleet will need to have troop transports to conquer a new territory. Transports can be built in ports just like any other ship and will be playable ships in battles.
Not only are we getting new territories in the Atlantic (that will be available to multiplayer games as well) but the new territories will have much better looking islands and terrains. The original Pacific territories will also eventually be updated to match the look of the Atlantic but that wont' be included with this update.
The update should be ready by the end of the summer. Thanks your everyone's support!

Multiplayer Tournament
Hi everyone, I am planning to hold a multiplayer battle tournament this coming weekend (Jan 24th-25th 2015) and would love to get some feedback on what kind of tournament everyone would like.
We could do a bracket style tournament where everyone would sign up and get assigned an opponent to battle at a specific time, or more of a free-for-all where the highest earned prestige points determine the overall winners.
There will be prizes for the first and second place: your choice of Steam game up to a certain value or App store/Google Play gift card. But mostly this is about fun and getting a chance to play some online multiplayer against real opponents.
Please post your feedback and suggestions as comments. I will put up the official rules based on the top suggestions by Friday Jan 23rd.
