What do ou guys think about a US flush deck DD that isn't nation specific like the heavy shore battery that is just lend lease CLemson or something like that. One card instead of one for Japan, and one for England and Russia etc.

Japan/Italy: Italian minelayer Lepanto an Azio-class minelayer scuttled and revived by the Japanese as Okitsu so could share two roundels. It could be a gunboat, escort with minelaying.
Then the country I am most interested in
Canada: HCMS Petrolia, there has been lobbying for this one in the past as set lists have been put together and it is about time for another corvette especially a Castle class into a set.
Canada: HCMS Swansea, the most successful Canadian sub-hunter and convoy escort / Battle of the Atlantic was the forte of the Canadian navy.
Canada: HMCS Assiniboine an Atlantic and Caribbean workhorse from her role in the capture of the Hanover, to convoys, an escort role in the hunt for the Bismarck and could have an SA of ram for ramming and sinking U-210.
UK: Hms petard (i think) - sank a sub from each of the 3 axis powers.
UK: Tenedos- Sunk alongside hermes in the indian ocean raid
Finland: Ex-HMS Vittoria - sunk by mines during the allied intervention in the russian civil war. The wrecks were bought by finland but destroyed when they tried to raise them for thier navy.
