Comments to the LIRA/LLAR ship designs at 
http://home.t-online.de/home/kh.ranitzsch/lira/main.html:

Fidel Castro-class BDN: The ship specs say "TMF: 157" and also "Mass
Factor 150". 157 is correct, assuming that 1 Mass is deliberately left
unused to represent obsolesence; 150 is too small.

Simon Bolivar-class BB: Magazine capacity is usually measured in Mass
rather than "salvoes" (to avoid confusion over which type of missiles
are carried). The magazine is thus capacity 8, not 4. The SSD shows an
ADFC which is missing in the ship specs. NPV is only 472, not 143
(again	assuming 1 Mass is unused to represent obsolesence).

Huascar-class CH: 1 Mass unused; paid for as weapon/PDS.

Cristobal Colon-class CE: The ship specs say "TMF 63" and also "Mass
Factor 66".The ship specs say that the armament is with 3 x B3 (no arcs
specified); the SSD shows 1xB3-5 + 3 B2 (1x5-arc (!) + 2x3-arc).
Neither armament makes it possible to get the specified NPV (219) for
either TMF 63 or TMF 66.

Hernando Cortez-class CL: 2 Mass unused, paid for as weapons/PDS.

Caribe-class DD: 2 Mass unused, paid for as weapons/PDS.

Ciudad de Habana-class CT: A Salvo Missile Launcher without a magazine
has no ammunition, so it is completely unable to fire. Apart from that,
the Habana is a legal design.
