(hoping someone can confirm this please!)
a formation is made up of ships numbered (within the formation) 1,2,3 etc...
how does fleet assign ships to the ship number within formation???
I thought it might be what order the ships are assigned to a fleet, but the ships don't add sequentially to the fleet !!! [i.e. add ships one, it is top of the list, add ship two, it is second in the list, add ship three becomes FIRST in list!!!!

] someone once mentioned it is based on WHEN the ship was built !!!!
