Sim Error correction

[snip]

Hello,

It was brought to my attention that the sim for the IRS Vallum, only member of the CCDS-13 class, was never added to the encyclopedia. The original design posted here has a couple of errors in addition; first the main guns are listed as single rather than twin turrets, second, the armor belts are longer than the ship. When these issues are corrected, the ship sims as below.

66t Below Water for Electric Drive
44t On Deck for FC
Rest non-offensive fluff I'll define when I have time tomorrow (eg Admiralty accommodations and topicalization)

Unless there is anything wrong with this sim (aside from the .02 free composite from the armor belt correction), I'll get it added to the ency later this week.
