NEW UNIT: Flottenbegleiter, new version!!

[Commander1980]

With the great tool from Sansal , i made a new unit, the "Flottenbegleiter".

In SH3 there is only a British Trawler used as small Escort for the Kriegsmarine. In fact, germany build a lot of small ships for escort and defence duties. That is why, i decided to create such a ship, for use as coastal defence and harbour traffic.

The "Flottenbegleiter" is based on the german Flottenbegleiter "F3 to F10", built 1935/36. They were about 80 metres long, 1100 tons great and were armed with 2 x 10,5 cm guns, 4 x 37 mm guns, Depth Charges and several smaller AA-guns.
