Totally speechless, this is another awesome addition.
The camouflage schemes are excellent, but I just love the Anglo-American design vibe here with those single 4.5in mounts. The Vulcan ASW frigate Type 15 analogue is amazing too.

Fabulous destroyers! Is it five per flotilla, or are there more??

Those are absolutely delightful. A nice jumping-off from the Fletchers to my US-centric eye.
