Australia - HMAS Odin : O Class Submarine Sweden - T11 MTB : Italian made MAS Boat USS O’Bannon - decorated ship, fun little read if you look it up Arashi - destroyer that led US SBDs to the Kido Butai at Midway Any of the captured French destroyers in German or Italian service
Italian minelayer Lepanto a Azio-class minelayer scuttled and revived by the Japenase as Okitsu so could share two roundels.
Canadian navy either the HCMS Swansea, the most successful Canadian sub-hunter or the HCMS Petrolia, which has been on the “near to be included” list several times.
HMS Palomares a former fruit ship that was converted to an Anti-aircraft Artillery ships and eventually Fighter Direction Ship (seagoing Anti Aircraft Auxiliaries) with radar. Participated in Mediterranean and Arctic.
Ashigara - Myoko-class cruiser, almost survived the war USS Yorktown (CV 10) - lowest hull number carrier that has not been done, lots of history

Rares: USS Guam - USS Alaska's sister ship, could be given Shore Bombardment or an AA SA from her combat record. IJN Suzuya (early fit) - we already have this ship in an identical gun-bearing capacity as the Mogami of the same class, but seeing a version with the older, lighter armament of 155mm guns as opposed to the 203mm guns would be interesting. It would take her from 10 guns to 15 for main battery, and could have a rapid fire SA or something akin to Destroyer Hunter, for a more point-affordable cruiser option.
Uncommon: HMS Dido - we have HMS Euryalus currently which is pretty good, Dido was more of an anti-aircraft specialist and most of her combat missions were centered around AA duty for covering convoys and landings. Fun fact is the surrender of the Kreigsmarine took place aboard her and she escorted Prinz Eugen and Nurnberg to Wilhelmshaven after the end of the war.
Commons: USS Tabberer - destroyer escort (John C. Butler class) - survived Typhoon Cobra with significant damage but did not sink - All Weather Fighter SA? - she also did many night ASW sweeps off Okinawa. She also did some mine-clearing in the final month of WWII. Aichi E13A "Jake" - recon/spotter aircraft carried by cruisers like Tone and Chikuma, Would be a cheaper, less-defended and armored version of the H8K in WAS. Could have an SA around boosting gunnery attacks or bomb runs. Would have a small bomb roll, just a few dice. Possibly some sort of SA allowing them to base on either Tone or Chikuma. HMS Albrighton - Hunt type III class escort destroyer - 2 dual 4-inch dual-purpose guns, later war had a 40mm "pom-pom" mounted to tip of bow for anti-S and E boat work so would be interesting to have a specialized ship for hitting torpedo boats and auxiliaries of smaller craft.

Neutral - Large Airfield - I mentioned this to Brigman and SWO_Daddy. What if we made an airbase for Patrol Bombers. Like the Wellingtons and Fortresses. re-roll attacks. An SA to boost their protection if they were in the same sector.
JPN - Java Sea Haguro - I much desire the Ashigara the last Myoko Class heavy cruiser. But while don't we fix a very undercosted/broken unit when it first came out
USA - USS Boston CA 69- When the f* we do one last time?
Germany - U621 - A type not done. These were AA U boats. The idea was good, execution not so much. I find it odd when I read stories of U Boats shooting down Liberators, Swordfishes, Wellingtons but these u boats have no AA attack value for defense and avoid being surpress by aircraft. Like it could be set to 3 or 4 dice at R0.
Germany - BF 109 - Any variant, I think the only way we can get more Axis aircraft without finding new or fantasy ones. Is to go after the variants and load it with SA's
JPN - Yugure - I don't think this class has been included in War at Sea
UK - HMS Porcupine - Class not done. survival type SA. Torpedo Survivor/Determination/Damage Control
USA - USS Nitro AE 2 - What a nice name for an ammo ship
UK - HMS Ashanti - One of the few Tribals to survive. AA Barrage, Guard The Convoy, Close Escort
UK - HMS Foresight - More early war DDs. sister reprint.
Erwin Rommel - "Give me American supply lines, British planes, German officers and Canadian troops, and I can take over the world".

Some questions to ensure I can make the best suggestions possible: Are these suggestions for Deck F? I would assume so but I just wanted to make sure. Is there a list somewhere of all the cards currently publicly announced for Deck F? I wouldn't want to suggest something that's already in if I can avoid it. And when you say 1 rare/uncommon do you mean 1 rare and 1 uncommon or 1 of either? Thanks in advance.

This is just a fun exercise for what might be in a future deck
Just a thought but assuming the German naval air wing had been authorized to be completed wouldn't there have been a chance of a FW 190 naval version? It was the improvement on the ME109. Seems it wouldn't have been that hard to convert it to a naval fighter if they could do it with the 109. Give the germans another fighter option at sea. Especially later war when the Seafire's and Helcat's have arrived.
