The GSN will NOT be mothballing SD(P)s. The ships have already been paid for along with their ammo load out and any reloads. They employ intensive automation which greatly reduces operational cost.
Some CLACs and their LACs will remain operational while others go into reserve. Reason is that LACs are attrition units ill suited to normal anti piracy operations.
The GSN WILL mothball or decommission their menagerie of captured, cast off or escaped from Hell warships. These units are a logistical as well maintainance nightmare not to mention not up to modern standards.
The GSN WILL mothball their new build, prepod SDs including Benjamin the Great.
The GSN will do some serious triage on their newer build below the wall units. Their Mark 16 armed, Rolland DDs, Saganami Cs and Nikes will be retained. After the slaughter at Hypatia, earlier designs that use single drive missiles will be the first to be mothballed.
I expect that the GSN WILL retain their considerable fleet of BC(P)s. Say all you want about relative survivability but a ship armed with MDMs or even Mk-16 DDMs have such an enormuse range and lethality advantage over ships armed with single drive missiles that loosing them would be insane.
Now which ship will be commanded by Commander Abigail Hearnes?
I would recommend reading HoS. many of the details you seek are there,
All the Ex-Havenite stuff is gone or in the reserve formations. Too difficult and expensive to keep up, non-standard and being of poor quality to boot.
All the older Manticore gifts are in reserve or retired.
Grayson's interwar sub wall consisted of 20 DDs, 40 CLs, 60 CAs, and 40 BC(p)s, with 32 BCs, with 28 BCs in reserve (all the gifts, the Havenite stuff, and the Manticore builds).
In HOS, Grayson was busy building their Roland (17+), Avalon (52+) and Saganami (17+) analogues in 1921, post war, they will probably retire their 1st war builds and retain the same structure in modern designs - if they have sufficient #s to do so.
