About "L'Ordine de San Stefano". Shouldn't it be "Ordine di Santo Stefano" instead?
See

here (in French but the name of the Order is mentioned in Italian, see note at the bottom of page 300).

plus i need some removed and below added
VEN;Flotta da San Zanipolo

VEN;Flotta da San Stae

Stae mean Eustachius
These 2 , Zanipolo and Stae where the only Venetian fleets to be named after Church's.
Edit: aditions
VEN;Flotta di Zobenigo - Means fleet of the lily , named after a rich noble family, Zuberico, who had trading rights between barcelona and nice, commencing in the 10th century
VEN;Galeoni di Fhlandria - Galleons of Flanders, a once in a year trading trip to southampton and flanders using exclusively, only war galleys. FH spelling is a very old form, similar sound to Ph in english ie phone
VEN;Galeoni di Quarnera - galley fleet which patroled from istria (not including istria) to albania, basically what venice referred to as dalmazia
VEN;Squadrone di San Moisee - The only fleet name i found which represented 1 of the six venetian districts. The double e is the correct spelling.
