Another option, though it's $25 a pop... I found this Ridgid 10-compartment organizer at Home Depot though I didn't pick one up--I can get three Planos and Dremel 'em out for MUCH higher bang-for-buck in both dollars and cubic inches.

Compartments are two 4x7x3-3/4" and six 4x3x3-3/4. For based ships with a jib-tip-to-base-rear length 3" or less they might work.
Has anyone here finished and based a Turner threedecker to get X/Y/Z-axis dimensions?
For lower numbers, if you could get the jibs to slide side by side to fit two per slot this Harbor Freight box might work...

As another possibility, given that the Plano 3730 "main" row layout is two double cells at the ends and four single cells in the middle, if you're busting out the Dremel anyway it might work to hog out the end rows into two quads and interleave the jibs on two ships per section, using the latch row for logs/decks/etc...
Another possibility by DeWalt:

2 large compartments each 6 inch x 4 inch x 3.5 inch (3x anything up to First Rate)
8 small compartments each 4 1/8 inch x 3 inch x 3.5 inch (2x anything below 3" jib-tip-to-base-rear)
My first thought on these would be to buy two. Swap the large compartments from one for four smalls from the other; build up the large-comps case case with a British and French SOL squadron and the other with frigate squadrons, using the small sections left in the first case for logs/decks/etc. Expanding to a second set, similarly set up with opposed British and Spanish squadrons.
At $20 a pop, at this rate you still might as well stick to Plano & Dremel... more bang for both buck and cubic inch still.
