I thought about that but mass 8 is a break point and I need mass 4 for
the weapons load, it all follows from there.  And 1 each hull lus
armor dies pretty quick too.

The Islamic Fed fleet was designed based on the theory espoused by the
Soviet navy:  get off one big punch, and if it's big enough , you
won't have to deal with the counterpunch.  Games in which the IF is
represented tend to be pretty quick, one way or another--particularly
if I bring mostly SMR-bearing variants.
