NAC vs ESU, 1500 points. Eg:

NAC, 1495 pts:
Inflexible-class CVL + 4 standard fighter squadrons
Victoria-class BB
2 Huron-class CL
2 Ticonderoga-class DD

ESU, 1500 pts:
Petrograd-class BB
Voroshilev-class CH
Beijing/BE-class CE (Note: this is the ADFC-equipped "defensive
close-support variant" described in the Beijing notes, *not* the ship
shown on the Beijing data panel!)
Tibet-class CL
Volga-class DH
4 Warsaw-class DD

I've deliberately avoided things like Salvo Missiles and fighter
variants (extra complexity can be fun, but not if it is your first game
IMO), as well as thrust-2 ships (virtually unmaneuverable in Vector)
and Vandenburg-class Heavy Cruisers (which always die horribly whenever
anyone around here tries to use them :-/ ).
