Eagle wasn't a dedicated warship, in one episode it had military Earth vessels
(or illusions of them) called Hawks, and a heavy bomber.

I caught the episode "The Hand of God" yesterday, where Galactica took on a
Cylon base star. From the episode the Galactica has no missile armament, a
large number of PDAF/ class-3's, and several much larger forward guns.
The Galactica carries 2 squadrons (Red and Blue), with a 3rd Squadron (Silver)
taken on in later episodes from the Battlestar Pegasus. The squadrons seem to
be standard USN 12 ship squadrons, so Galactica would have 4 fighter
squadrons, increased to 6 in later episodes (which caused problems as it was
more fighters than she was designed to carry).

Nope, Red Dwarf is a Jupiter Mining Corp Deep Space Miner, and was unarmed.
One of the Star Bugs was armed by the Simulants in series 6, but that's it.
