Yes, you need to add the Kilkis. She was sunk during the Nazi invasion while trying to escape, meaning the ship could still move, and I can find no record that she was disarmed like her sistership.

I've added the SB2C helldivers used by the National army during the Greek civil war. They dropped napalm bombs against the communists in the mountains.
