I noticed that some of the platforms in the HUD-4 still have no text information listed for them. In addition, a few have the wrong text information (a couple of classes got their text information switched, etc.) Here are suggestions for updates to the database text:

612 Badr: Corvette class operated by the Saudi Navy.

(Note: length for this class is listed as 0 meters; it should probably be something like 250 meters.)

Ah, found two more that need to be fixed...

 

PGM 1 Battle Mountain [#]: Fictional platform. Hypothetical corvette class.

 

PGM 1 Battle Mountain Flight II [#]: Fictional platform. Hypothetical corvette class.

 

(At 1,000 tons, and with missiles, they're really more corvettes than patrol boats.)
