AE as Replenishers

[Leandros]

What I have found is 5400-tonners that convert to AE - but only in June '43.
Those 6200-tonners I have found convert only to AKA's - same period.
5250-tonners upgrade to AKE in June '43

Thank you, have tried to look them up. Seems they are out of the game. I'm in March '43.

Yes, I should have noted I was showing DBB-C screens with reduced cargo capacity.

Are they sunk? They should be present in both stock and DaBabes campaigns

Not so for the AEs - they start as 5800 tonners and END UP as 5400 tonners.

Here is Ruth Alexander on Dec. 7th 1941. The yellow text on conversion means it is available immediately. The AP conversion for this class is available in Feb/42. All this is in stock.

In addition to those Yaab listed, add Mount McKinley (at start) and early arrivals Red Jacket, Harpoon and Lassen. There may be more that I have forgotten about.

Lassen certainly fits in with the the US Navy's habit of naming AE class ships after volcanoes. I always figured that there was a certain warning to the sailors in that habit...

I'm afraid so. I have lost a few. Anyway, they aren't in the inventory.
