Get more Corvettes. You should have several 
divisions of escorts for every Cruiser and Battle 
Ship

I like the traditional Role of several Basic DDs 
with a CL DDL (Destroyer Leader) as the division 
flag. I have somewhere around 5 DD divisions with 
neary that many DDH/DDLs as division flag ships.

I've put together several CLs and CAs with 
smaller and larger versions kit bashed as 
variants or other classes that develop from those 
classes.

The thing I don't like about the typical FT BC is 
that they're the same speed as the BBs in the 
same fleet. BCs should be faster that the BBs and 
as fast as the lighter stuff. So, I made up two 
BCs (Black Prince class) from some Ticonderoga 
hulls with BB 'banjos' (From some NAC carrier 
bits I stripped).

A Battle Line is always impressive. 2-3 BBs with 
Several SDNs make a dreadful statement.

Several Carriers with some lighter versions are 
something I made up. I also made up some odd kind 
of escort carrier with a NAC DD 'banjo' stuck off 
to the side that makes an excellent Gator 
Carrier. It has a larger front bay and a tiny 
fighter launch panel made from a wing's and 
things kit.

Some auxilliary ships are also a good idea.
