-	Fletcher-class destroyer: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1240056/

For the above units I had to slightly modify the .lua files to make them playble in these missions. 
Where I put a modification I wrote a note.

Installation
------------
AFTER you have installed the above modules, extract the zip file in the main /Saved Games/ directory, something like:
C:\Users\[your name]\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\
As I said above some .lua files of the mods are modified and need to be overwritten. You can make a backup copy if you like.

------------
Notes
------------
On the CV deck before takeoff, it may happen that the plane ahead of you get stuck. In this case just begin taxi a bit ahead and it should move.
AI planes sometimes act weird. That's beyond my control.
To land on the CV deck without hook is doable, just approach flat and at the lowest speed. Wind and CV's speed will help.
I limited the amount of units for better performance and to reduce the risk of bugs.

cheers
