I checked out Sioux's history. A very busy escort after she was commissioned in 1944, but she is a sister to HMCS Algonquin, which is arguably one of the more awesome DDs in the game (6! ASW, Bad Weather Fighter, Sub Hunter and Smoke for 8 points). Not sure how to make it substantially different in a way that would really see play.

I do agree, it would very hard to make her different from her sister ship HMCS Algonquin. Two special abilities off the top of my head would be: Carrier Escort or Close Escort, Shore Support
We'll print at some point. Brigs swears this is his last deck (I'm long done with mine), but now we are talking about "splitting" this deck. In other words, picking 80 cards to print and then pressing on for another 80. Mission creep at its finest.
Well, for those that prefer a bit more history, here's a historical unit of the Romanian navy. A shrimpboat, but she did sink (and assist in sinking) several Russian subs!
Easy for you to say!
"That's right son, join the navy. Get behind a bloody big gun and knock the hell out of somebody"
"We went out, got our arses kicked, then came back again"
Terror definitely gives the US something different.
Here's something that caught my eye in yesterdays paper. A photographer had taken a picture of the still standing Fort Maunsell. Captioned as a fortress built to stop German invasion traffic coming in through the Medway and up into the Thames. They looked like the walkers in the star wars films. Anyway checked wiki and actually a few different groups were built protecting London and Liverpool, different types classed as army and navy designs. Obviously got me thinking of WAS!
