Thanks gtb and Arnaud for your comments.

No my USN fleet is not complete. I still have to do more than 200 ships to complete my goal for a 600-ship navy

This is my current list of USN ships i want to build:

16x DML DDG-79
12x DML FFG-7
29x AFV FF-1052
03x JAG AOE-1
04x JAG AO-177
11x JAG LPD-4
04x JAG LSD-36
28x TTH LPD-17
01x TTH DDX
02x TTH LCS-2
10x RE/MAR OSPREY
01X PITROAD LPH-2
01x JAG WHEC-715
01x JAG WMEC-901

I also want to buy and build these when they ll be released:

07x Ships & Co AFS-1
07x Ships & Co AOR-1
12x Ships & Co LSD-41

I also want to built the following non USN ships:

02x DML ILLUSTRIOUS
01x HP CDG
02x PITROAD SLAVA
02x L'ARSENAL LAFAYETTE
02x RE/MAR ORIZONTE
02x NNT TYPE 123
04x WEM TYPE 23
04x WEM TYPE 45
02x HASEGAWA DDE-229
02x KYUKYUSHIKI MST-462
01x KYUKYUSHIKI ASR-403
01x KYUKYUSHIKI ASR-405
01x KYUKYUSHIKI TV-3508

My ultimate goal is to build a what if 600-ship USN, some allied ships in order to be able to form multinational battlegroups and several Soviet "enemy" naval assets.

Hmmm.. hard to say how much i spent on my USN fleet. An average of 15 euros per ship would give you the correct number on how much i spent on my fleet.

That's intersting. I've heard about the meetings in Laupheim but couldn't find any homepage or actual dates for 2009, perhaps you have any information? I might consider driving down there myself if I find the time.

The AOE's look good, I have to wonder - didn't you say you were going to fit them with some defensive weapons?
