Coronation Fleet Review for Sultan Kian

The **1939 Coronation Fleet Review**, celebrating the coronation of Sultan Kian, was a momentous occassion with around a third of the Sultan's Navy present.

Originally planned as a review of the Sultan's Navy alone, it soon became an occassion for civilian vessels as well - first and foremost of the *Mutiea*, Kian-Sultan's Personal Yacht. The Fleet Review also marked, at least to Naval Historians, the transistion of the Sultan's Navy from a Big Gun Navy to a Carrier Navy, the carriers being more versatile then their big gun counterparts and thus preferred in the Decolonization Wars.
