Is David Weber going to finish the series?

They do. It's the Isaiah MacKenzie Naval Academy. It underwent a major upgrade and renovation. IIRC it reopened in 1921 PD.

those 3 are

Honourvse
safehold
Bahzell

he is working on is the current honor book (currently expected oct/nov), then he does the next safehold (also expected oct/nov if amazon is accurate), then likely the next bahzell book (with at least 3 more due in that series after that one i believe), then what is meant to be the final honor book of the current arc and last safehold book of current arc.

After that i have not heard anything though he did say a while back that the series which kicked off with Sword of the South was meant to be 5 or 6 books.

There is also the Manticore Ascendant series and I believe the possibility of a sequel to Out of the Dark.

Plus the Hell's Gate series.

with hells gate and manticore ascendant RFC is not the prime author. so in theory they should not tie up as much time as one of his main projects would.

Not the best thing if she is going to be a main character in a book. It would be great for her & the RMN as it would be the best training command. Just think of it as truly advanced training school using real ships, not just simulators.

She will do just fine with home fleet when the Invincible Onion Navy and two thousand ultradreadnoughts* come across the event horizon, complete with many copies of the device that is not very good at destroying warship wedges but is completely effective -- you did notice that missiles and counter missiles have rather simpler wedge structures? - at destroying missile and counter missile wedges at a great distance.

No, I have no access to classified authorial information, other than on my own books.

*After all, if you can't pull more than 50 gees with your invisible drive, which you can handle with improved grav plates, you might as well deploy Kahad-class warships that mass 6 billion tons. Each. Because a compensator is pointless.
