I don't think them being there is an accident, but rather something Palp left behind on the assumption that the Empire may fall and need to be rebuilt. Basically he left a cache of ships floating in space for when that day came. I also kinda got the feeling that Finn along with others found this dormant fleet, based on that shot of him and the new girl aboard some ship. That shot gives you a look out the window into space and it looks pretty similar to the background of the ISD shot. Those ISD's also aren't lit up which could be indicating that they are inactive.
I bring this up because of that shot of 3PO with red eyes. My little pet theory is that 3PO will be with Finn when they find the ISD's and that with nowhere near enough people to crew the things, 3PO will attempt to take control of the fleet from a command ship or something like that. The red is just to show that he's interfacing with the old Imperial ships. It would be a pretty good way to give the Resistance a fighting chance if they suddenly came into ownership of an entire Imperial fleet. This is all based on roughly 10 seconds of footage so feel free to tear this theory to bits, but it sounds pretty probable to me.
To sum up, Admiral C-3PO, as well as Resistance ISD's and Tie's confirmed
Yeah, that seems to be exactly the case at hand here.

This is also one group, we might yet see some more out there pirate or scummy ships.
I do admit I wish Resistance could get more of their own ships but... at least they have more stuff now.
That's not what I meant..! I'm saying these Y-Wings and B-Wings are like the T-70s and RZ-2s.

So looking at options for new ships and/or pilots we got:
7 T-70s pilots. One has to be Poe and I would not be surprised if Black Squadron and Nien Numb are also in the others. No 85s, but I'll take what space combat I can get.
7 Y-wings. Based off the Lego leaks and the poster leak they will be a newer model. You can somewhat spot the longer vents and smaller engines on a few of them. Lego shows a turret closer to Clone Wars version, but in the poster and in this clip you can't really tell.
9 A-wings. So this one is strange, the picture and Lego leak makes some of them look like RZ-1s. I find it hard to think they will just throw some old ones in there while everybody else gets newer models. Maybe RZ-2s can come with straight or angled stabilizers????
6 B-wings. No leaks for this ship, but the shape looks very different from the version we got in RoTJ. Maybe its just the angle and I am wrong, but **** does it look different. Both S-foils, the main wing, and the piece connecting the cockpit to the rest of the ship all look longer and thinner. The B-wing Mark II was also used for the Resistance transport so it would be nice to connect the two ships.
These Y-Wings have smoother noses.
The A-Wings are RZ-2s. Check the original trailer.
That's a Z2 if there ever was one- in Tallie's squadron paint no less.
Those B-Wings are DEFINITELY not the same ones we're use to, either Slimmer necks, more-angled wings when closed, longer central airfoils, more pronounced engines, they're new.
And uh, that's... Probably The Tantive IV, with Leia in it.
