## About this plate

THE 2022 BLUE BASE, plain option, the predecessor L2 asks for, and the better documented of the two Tennessee generations. Its start is genuinely well-sourced: the Governor's office named January 3, 2022 in a dated release four months ahead of it, and stated the production rate. Its END is a legend amendment rather than a redesign, which is why the base looks identical across the boundary and why the serial arrangement is unchanged.
