A propos Admirals: they should be more utilised this set. Admirals provide us with a means of doing operational variants of large ships, but on a larger scale since an Admiral can be attached to any ship. It can also add significant depth to fleet building, with Admirals essentially serving as upgrades. Thus a navy like Italy's, which has only 9 CA cards, can be thought of currently as having closer to 18 options if Alberto da Zara is included. The equivalence is not precise, but it does approximate the explosion of possibilities. Two more Admirals for the US, Japan, and the UK, and one more for Germany and Italy would put all of those countries in a much better position with regard to the filling out of unit slots and ensuring a balance of units with regard to class limits and historicity.
I think there a couple of navies where commanders are good choices,
siam: where there are virtually no other reasonable options.
Finland: somewhat similar to siam
Canada: which is on cusp of solid self sufficiency
Canada also works in the sense of the wider commonwealth sense. Giving uk the a cruiser (au) and dd commander (can) as well as thier bb guy
Germany could make a case on that basis for Hans-Ulrich Rudel, who'd also be thematic for finland and romania.
US and IJN are so far ahead of most other navies. I dont feel there is strong need for additional upgrades.
As i noted in my first list of proposals, we could do 2 neutral spanish commanders:
Nationalist Manuel Vierna Belando(cruisers)
Republican Luis González de Ubieta (destroyers)
Which would add 2 extra options for ever fleet under the normal rules.
