Escort Destroyers

20x E-22 class DDE's
20x E-1 class DDE's
40x P class (ex E class patrol boats)

*notes: edited misc. weight breakdowns to more accurately represent special weapons and equipment. Weights have been brought down to be more accurate and do not effect the overall misc. weight as all the E class ships have misc. weight set aside for future growth.
