I heard a rumour that the Blodd Angels had the biggest fleet out of all the Loyal Chapters.
Can anyone back this up for me?
Cheers
The large SM fleets would be(In no order):
Ultramarines- See them having a wide range of ships. 3 BB, 10-12 SC, 30+ Escorts
Dark Angels- 1 Rock, 5 BB, 14 SC, 30 Escorts
Imperial Fists- 1 Phalanx, 3-5 BB, 12 SC, 30 Escorts
Black Templars- 5 BB, 12-16 SC, 30+ Escorts
UM need to cover and protect a large area of space, so a variety of size ships with a dependency on escorts. Dark Angels (I have put much thought and time into) need many large ships as I believe there would be built in training, repairs and other facilitates that you would find on a Homeworld, plus enough strength to redirect for a "Hunt". Imperial Fists would be similar to the DA but the need for such a rapid support deployment, therefore I would say they have slightly less SC. As for BT, I believe there crusade would splinter off from main BB groups making the need for SC's higher.
BA I see having the need for the basic. 2-3 BB, 6-8 SC, 20 Escorts. The ships are more used as Transports than anything else and most likely would be support by the Navy in any space action. The fleets above for various reasons would mostly likely fight alone. BT out in the middle of nowhere, IF if attacked otherwise they would be in smaller numbers and support by Navy, DA do there own thing and Hunt down Fallen, UM protecting a region of space and mostly likely have Navy support as well.
Just my 2 Cents...
