A couple off the top of my head...

Greece: Aetos or Wild Beast class. Older DD that fought in the war, and a class of 4, which would help flesh out their fleet...

UK: Admiralty V&W class. Old WW1 DD that fought in decent numbers in WW2. Would be a nice addition

Dehaviland Mosquito Fighter-Bomber!!!!!!

Keeping up with the Soviet narrative, here are a few ideas. Assuming if they only get 3 slots and we stick to histroical units

SU-2 Cheap early war bomber that was sometimes used as an emergency fighter.
Lembit Survived an barrage of 50 depth charges. Dubbed the Immortal Submarine
Komintern or Marte Last 'large' ships that fought in the war. Very unglamorous, slow 1 minelayers.

If the Soviets get more than 3.

IL-10 Late war dive bomber.
L-3 Very Successful mine laying submarine.

And for straight fantasy.

UP-41 Battleship. Designed for by the Italians, similar to the Roma Class.
Frunze 4th Gangut class Battleship. Gutted by fire in the 1920s, was considered to be rebuilt as a 'fast' battlecruiser. One of the turrets would have been removed.
Either the Fruze or Izmail Carrier Conversions. Su-2 and LL hurricane operations.

Would an Attack Transport fulfill the role of an early Landing Ability for USA or do I need to look elsewhere online?

The Royal Navy were given 4 Casa Grande Class LSD. That could be an easy Landing reprint. Or we go with the smaller landing craft.

I think the UK have more pressing Aux choices but the US is an option.

Large Italian unit...

See here for info...

naval-encyclopedia.com/ww2/italy/italian-battleships.php?amp=1

Progetto G is for a 37,000 ton BB with 16 - 380 MM guns

Progetto Cassone is for a 45,000 ton Battlecruiser with 8 - 456 MM guns and a speed if 35-40 knots

Progetto Leghorn is for a 27,000 Ton Battlecruiser with 9 - 381 MM guns, 12 6 inch guns in Turrets, as well as 2 quad torpedo tunes.

While all are hypothetical, I believe they can really help out the Italians...
