Yep, Chosin is the only USN ship listed. I've been told the Russians aren't coming, even though the Varyag is listed (they sold that to the Chinese about 5 years ago). Plenty of ships will be at buoys around the harbour, quite a few at Waterhen and Darling Harbour/White Bay area, plus a number at GI.
