What Don said, but I will own up to not paying the most particular attention to some things. A lotta stuff is just as Don says, other stuff could use a skoosh of Brylcreem. Have no idea, after all these years, why we did this to that, and that to this. For my Fault, for my Fault, for my most Grevious Fault. I must be shot at dawn.
Ciao, JWE

Don, how comes HMAS Lolita is not in DaBabes?
Because http://www.amazon.com/Australian-New-Ze ... 0868240958 does not list her! Where did you find her?
P.S. Thanks to Jeff for all the good data. Some obvious errors in the corvettes. But many of the arrival date and even some arrival location "errors" were intentional. A working-up period was indeed estimated for new construction. Also those that served in the Pacific, went (temporarily) to the Med, and returned were just put in one time (the return) instead of troubling the player with witherdraw-return for smaller ships. Lastly, completion dates for ships completed after the war were accelerated. Everything slowed down once the war ended but would have been much faster had it continued.
P.P.S. Happy to hear any more corrections.
Don, I can totally understand your comment but it is far from the facts.
We have ships arriving on their Commisioning date, but at the wrong location.
We have ships arriving up to a year in advance of their Commisioning date.
We have at least 6 which dont show at all.
Especially in DBB where a myriad of smaller ships were put into the database, this is not up to the standard of the mod.
Why cant people just say "we got it wrong, thanks for the update" just as DBB is an update on Vanilla and AE is an update on WITP.

Don, re HMAS Lolita - she is even in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sh ... alian_Navy
When I saw her in the list, I did some furher googeling (taking care to erase the surfing history - don't want to explain to my wife why I have googeld for "Lolita"... [:D])
We'll back you up with your wife! [:D]ORIGINAL: LargeSlowTarget
Glad to be of service [:)]. Just to avoid any misunderstandings, I should underline the fact that I have been searching for RAN ships, found the Wikipedia list, noticed a ship called "Lolita" and then googled for her - and not the other way round. And I used the search term "HMAS Lolita" to avoid potentially distracting results [:-].
Don, I'm a bit proud that I have found something that is not in Zygotes. I mean, you have this obscure "Southern Cross" mission supply ship and even HMAS Kuru in your mod [X(].
Both should be modified Brooklyn class.ORIGINAL: BigDuke66
Just for the Chrome:
The CL class called "Helena" should be named "St. Louis" at least that is the class name I usually found when I searched for them.
No definite mention about rearming but:ORIGINAL: LargeSlowTarget
In the game, USS Allen (Sampson class DD) is armed with 4x4in/50 guns and 4x triple torpedo tubes.
However, her after action report for Dec. 7 mentions that her crew "manned Guns No. 5 and No. 6 – 3"-50 caliber" and that she expended 57 round of 3in ammo, splashing one plane (see http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USN/shi ... Pearl.html ).
Google comes up with conflicting info, apparently she lost half her torpedo tubes in exchange for either DC projectors and 20mm guns or the 3in/50 guns.
Does someone has more definite info about her armament?
