actually its not contradictory to canon in any way. The vessels and if they were armed were not covered by anything in canon except to say that the John Hancock was there.
And mounting cannon and machine guns and bringing man portable SAM's on board to make defend the ships in no way contradicts canon. All the tanks, heavy vehicles, vehicle mounted AA systems, 155mm guns, etc.. still stay in Europe
If I said they tied down M1 tanks and SP M109's on the ships to defend them it would contradict canon - but I never said that.
As for the tanks getting to the RDF - that was a side comment about our earlier discussion and not in any way part of what might have been used to arm the ships so they got home in one piece.
And per canon they did get home in one piece.
