Patrol Division expands

The Patrol Division of the DDS Fleet has added a new 7th Patrol Squadron to the ORBAT which will include Isometric type MCS and Corkscrews (over time more of the latter). Plans have also been put in place for 3 more Patrol Squadrons to be formed over the next 3 years as more Corkscrew 51As join the fleet.

The 4 Patrol (Local) Squadrons have been renumbered as Local Patrol Squadrons though their support role will continue as before.
