I did that because it's a preview, IE. a spoiler I cut out part of Taylor's quote, at his request, basicly that weapons were removed from the hard points of the drawing and that I would guess what they will be. The PB-5D is mentioned in Straits of Hell coming out in May, but won't appear until the next book, my owl inards, WAG, suggest the PB-5D carries  a pair of torpedos. Double the power should carry double the load or 4 tons ie two torps. We won't get definate book info until Straits of Hell at the earliest, and probaly not until the book he is working on. Note the three water cooled machine guns, I WAG them as .30 caliber, on the PB-5D drawing, I bet the army gets some too.

I'm currently resizing his drawing of the Grik BB to the same scale as the other ship drawing, his guns are over size  IIRC  100 pounder is less than a foot in diameter between 10 and 11 inches, and I'm wondering about the height of the casement in the enlargement that is a hell of a lot of steel in the air.

Sorry but I need to inflict some Deadly Shores Spoilers on you to discuss the Grik military. The Grik military is in flux its bulk is the old style uhl but there are the new hatchlings, currently as of end of Deadly Shores only Halick and Kurokwa have the new defencive uhl, those Eashk had died in the defence of Grik City and Halick has only the hatchling host and has been chasced out of India and is not in contact with General Eashk. Kurokawa has the bulk of the airforce and navy as well as the bulk of the new hatchlings. He is in revolt for all practcal purposes. Source of new style Uhl (hatchlings) was Grik City, and it's now in allied hands. The Clestial Mother is dead and Grik politics may be a muddle especially with Kurokawa wanting to be the Grik's emperor.

That said I would just have classes of ships and aircraft until we see how things shake out, and the only aircraft they have is the zeps. I don't think Eashk and the bulk of the Grik has zeps and only a few ironcalds BBs and crusers.
