If you look at the East African Sourcebook you can see the ship that used in the place of the scrapped Forrest Sherman DD

As for Civgov - always wondered where they got the ships to send those three divisions to Yugoslavia - that is one of the big "what the heck??!!" parts of the whole canon

First off you have to get shipping and get them some kind of escorts for three divisions that included a division that had tanks - personally I am thinking they may have used Coast Guard cutters for escorts - I dont see the USN going over to Civgov but the Coast Guard that I could see

Second off you need to get the fuel to send three divisions over - not the single one Milgov sent - and Milgov controlled almost all the remaining fuel reserves

Third you have to have commanders gullible enough to somehow think they were going to get re-supplied by basically a rebel government when Milgov controlled almost all the remaining oil and military equipment reserves and not only agreed to get on the ships but stayed loyal thru resupply collapsing and didnt say "screw this" and do what it took to try to link up with Milgov forces in Austria
