Cost 4 * 314 + 3 * 81 = 1499 pts (or 4 * 353 + 3 * 81 = 1655 pts)

Cost 1468 pts. Reasonably even fleet sizes, but the NAC are rather weak
in escort ships - change the Vandenburgs for extra Furiouses, or the
Ticonderogas for Minerva/A frigates and see what happens :-) (Especially
if you reduce the Kenedy class ships so they're legal designs...)

What weapon arcs do these ships have?

Um, no. The weapon load doesn't fit - hull, screen and engines are 50
Mass, weapons and armour are 46. With the equipment you have specified,
the ship should be Mass 101, have 20 hull boxes and cost 353 points
each;
if you drop 6 points of weaponry (eg, 2 SML or some magazine space) you
get the Mass and Cost you specify.
