So, according to the first VF-1 Master File book, here's the SDF-3. Isn't she a beaut?
I mentioned this on the SpeakerPodCast and at MW Con, but for some reason, if I say anything about it on Facebook, one or more people will come out and accuse me of trolling or just being mistaken or they simply don't want to believe it or SOMETHING, but it's right there on page 120 (as Sketchley's translation confirms), as the ship that the SVF-789 Daleskarak squadron (wing?) is assigned to:
"SDF-3 (Formerly Britiai's ship)"
I'm honestly not sure why this brings out hostility and disbelief in people, since it doesn't really have any bearing on continuity, but there ya go. After Space War I, Britai's ship was reclassified as the SDF-3.
(And before anyone points out that the Master File books aren't necessarily part of the "official setting," I'd like to say that I showed the pic to Tenjin-san... so if it wasn't official before, it probably is now. )
