Was just wondering if all the ships you buy have the same shield strength for a given set of modules installed. If not, where can you see what the shield strength is?

Yep, shield strength is always the same, namely 128 damage points. A Shield Booster adds another 128 points, and the Military Shield Enhancement another 128 for a total of 384 points. Which means that a fully kitted Cobra III has more shields than energy (which you can interpret as armour, although energy is used for other things as well, of course).
