Well, I've been meaning to put a table on my fleet rosters page to clarify
these things (I believe there also is a copy of the information in the GZG
FAQ, too, but I haven't checked yet), and I finally today have it up and
posted. In the future (early 2000;) I hope to put together a tabulation
breakdown of the fleet rosters by squadron masses and ship
numbers/types.

But first I have a few other projects I gotta work on...

I also have one at
