Aloha, There are two scenarios I would like to start working on. These are Paracels (Xisha) 1974 - this pits four Republic of Vietnamese ships versus 4-6 PLA Navy ships. All PLA Navy ships are in the database, but there was one EDSALL class (DE) and two BARNETGAT class small seapolane tenders (recast as patrol craft) in the fight. The other battle I am considering is the 06 Aug 1965 Battle of Shantou, where two ROCN subchasers were sunk by the PLA Navy. They were trying to land agent provocatuers to take advantage of the chaos in the PRC as the Cultural Revolution gathered steam. Didn't work out so well. This would be a good cat and mouse scenario with the KMT trying to sneak in at night to the coast and the PLAN trying to guess where they will land. The ships I would for both need are: RVN Edsall DE (3 x 3"/50 guns)• 2 × 40 mm AA guns (1 × 2) • 8 × 20 mm AA guns (8 × 1) • 3 × 21 in (530 mm) torpedo tubes (1 × 3) (U.S. advisors did not provide torps) • 8 × depth charge projectors • 1 × depth charge projector (hedgehog) • 2 × depth charge tracks RVN Barnegat PF (1 X 5"/38; 2 x 81mm mortars) TWN/ROCN PC-461 class (290 tons) Armament: 1 3"/50, 1 40mm, 4 20mm, depth charges, hedgehog (estimate) I've got some stats (not sure how reliable they are) Thanks, Mark
