Most of the others might work okay if you have a small number of
squadrons.
This one does not.

eg each side has 1 BB squadron and 2 CL/DD squadrons, total 15 ships per
side--certainly big enough that squadron movement would speed things up.

But if you fire by squadron, whichever side wins initive will fire their
BB
squadron first, of course.  This just perpetuates the
big-ship/small-ship
imbalance.

I'm not saying this wouldn't be useful in huge battles, but the players
need to be aware of the effects instead of just applying them without
thinking.
