BG corrections... Re: The GZG Digest V2 #36

***
I caught the episode "The Hand of God" yesterday, where Galactica took
on a
Cylon base star. From the episode the Galactica has no missile armament,
a
large number of PDAF/ class-3's, and several much larger forward guns.
The
Galactica carries 2 squadrons (Red and Blue), with a 3rd Squadron
(Silver)
taken on in later episodes from the Battlestar Pegasus. The squadrons
seem
to be standard USN 12 ship squadrons, so Galactica would have 4 fighter
squadrons, increased to 6 in later episodes (which caused problems as it
was
more fighters than she was designed to carry).

Do we have a good feel for how large a BG squadron is? I had the feeling
they were as large as two or three FT squadrons.

I think it was the episode with the Pegasus that BG is passing between
two
Basestars, and firing large missles at each. I believe the footage was
actually NASA film of rocket stage separations.
