No, they weren't worked out in any detail, just the sort of numbers that
felt about right for the navies involved. Remember that there are MANY
other classes in service than the few examples detailed in the FB. I set
the numbers so that navies were not TOO huge, but OTOH it would be
unlikely
that anyone but the most determined powergamer would field the entire
service strength of a single class in one game!! Of course, if anyone
wants
to buy that many ship minis then that's OK by us..... ;)
