Remarks: "The 'P.F. Sloan' Class fleet escort is intended for
routine fleet security and support. Fleet escorts are assigned in
quantity for local or system defense any time that several
squadrons or a fleet are present. If it is remembered that Sloans
are lightly armed and armored, then their performance can be seen
as admirable, although they cannot withstand major engagements."-

few. It might be fun to run across the...
