+Patrol personnel are about half and half deployed in on the star ships and the support/customs bases.
 They operate mostly in the outback for patrol and in the major systems for customs patrol.
+In wartime about 80% of them would be deployed on the ships.
 ====Ranks====
-Navy normally uses "Patrolman" for all privates and all NCOs are normally called just "Chief" and the commander of a starship is always "Captain" aboard their own ship and usually just "Lieutenant" or "Commander" outside. All admirals regardless of rank are usually just "Admiral". Full ranks are only used in very official situations like commendations and similar, or when the full rank matters.

 ====Task forces and ships====
-The largest ships they operate are the 3000 ton class ships: Frigates, light carriers and light assault ships, but most ships they operate are scouts and increasingly [[Wyvern-class]] mini patrol ships.

 ===Heavy task forces===
-These are the heaviest forces that patrol deploys
+These are the heaviest forces that patrol deploys. The patrol operates almost 50 000 of them. Most of them are in the minor systems as system defense.
-  * 2 Frigates
+  * 2 [[Battle-class]] Frigates
   * 1 [[Nebula-class]] carrier
   * 2 [[Ranger-Class]] assault ships
-  * 4 scout ships
+  * 4 [[cossack-class]] scout ships.
   * about 6 30 ton fighters
   * about 30 10 ton fighters.
+  * about 4 30 ton shuttles
+  * 2 colonial marine companies with g-carriers and scout speeders.
 ===Light task forces===
-  * 2 [[Wyvern]] patrol ships usually though still a sizable minority with the old style 2 scout ships.
+These are the typical patrol groups you can meet out on patrol. There are about 500 000 such groups.
+The number of light task forces are likely to increase as more and more colonies are founded and thus for the need to protect/patrol them increases. In fact the number has already risen from about 300k to the current number in the last 5 years.
-===Reserve ships===
+  * 2 [[Wyvern]] patrol ships (125k)
+  * or 2 [[cossack-class]] scout ships(250k)
+  * or 2 [[Anson-class]] scout ships(125k).
-Most patrol reserve ships are [[Anson-class]] scoutships, with very few newer scoutships in the mix.
+It is estimated than in less than 20 years all the current light task forces will have Wywerns and in meanwhile most Ansons are being replaced by cossacks that are freed from the navy.
+===Reserve ships===
+Most patrol reserve ships are [[Anson-class]] scoutships.
