I do (and Conway's too). I'll check when I get home, but here's a quick
sampler:

ARGENTINIAN NAVY, WWI/WWII
 1N01
	   Comprises: 2 Battleships, 3 Cruisers, 16 Destroyers.

£5.80

				    BRAZILIAN NAVY, WWI/WWII
 1N02
	   Comprises: 3 Battleships, 2 Cruisers, 13 Destroyers.

£5.80

				     CHILEAN NAVY, WWI/WWII, 
 1N03
	     Comprises: 1 Battleship, 11 Destroyers.

£3.05

Note the lack of cruisers -- these are essentially coastal defense
fleets.

That'd be a total of 6 BBs them... except that this list doesn't mention
one very important thing:

How many of those were dreadnoughts (my guess would be close to nil) and
how many were obsolete pre-dreads?
