Do you have Cyberpirates? I can't remember exactly, but I
thought somewhere in there it listed some of the corps and
what ships they might field. Granted, they probably were the
destroyer/frigate classes. Anybody remember this?? (Carib
League too) or am I just imagining it?

If you're just imagining it, we're being delusional together. I remember
something to that effect, too.

Yep. Cyberpirates gives specs for Shiawase's frigate design, which is
apparently fairly typical: heavy on ASW with some AAW and ASuW
capability.

(ASW - Anti-Submarine Warfare
AAW - Anti-Air Warfare
ASuW - Anti-Surface Warfare)
