Should be fixed.  Got some strange points values, would appreciate
double checks.

Not only corrected, but brought into line with Imperial Naval doctrine. 
This used to be a SML design until I changed it in haste when I decided
to restrict SMLs to pure SML-armed formations.	Didn't do math.  :(

> NRE Commerce Raider: Same problem as for the Milvian Bridge.

Unsure what happened, I think it's fixed.  Combination typo and
miscalculation.  The web page didn't match the master copy Word file,
and I couldn't get either of them to add up right.

Fixed, I think.

Typo.

Same Typo as above.

Fixed.

Not only fixed, but corrected.	The excess FCs are holdover from
cut-and-paste the Battleship.

Typo, yes there should be.

Strategic Misinformation.
