Aieee! My sanity!

I made the fatal mistake of digging up the dregs of past UK reports, and found that there are duplicated reports for 1925 to 1927 (ish), which don't match. I'm treating those produced by Alt Naval as "canon", since I wasn't aware of the alternate option until about five minutes ago.

However, Gravina's reports make extensive reference to the DE22 and DE23 classes - which, at least, I should have - and also DE24, DE25 and DE26 classes, which I assume are lost to the duplicate reports. That accounts for the "40 to 70" figure for DEs in the order of battle.

However, I haven't the remotest notion what these ships actually are, despite searching the forums. I can only assume they are some sort of derivative of the so-called "Defiant" torpedo boats, unless someone can enlighten me...
