I don't. A lot of thers on this list don't.

I will point out that most starship sci-fi is based on a WWII wet navy
model. It's a major feature of the genre. It's highly unlikely that FT
models anything even vaguely close to realism. It _does_, however,
strive to model the starship combat genre which, in turn, is modelled
on World War II wet navies. Therefore, the WWII model should probably
prevail in generic FT so that it can model the genre.
