Any complete ship lists of ww2

[Tim Prokop]

I am creating a data base of ships in the Pacific, and I would like to
do anything I can to decrease the workload.

Does anyone have, or know of, a digital listing of ships by their number
and their name (more would be great but even this would save a huge
amount of work).

ie. BB - 34 - New York
BB - 35 - Texas

etc.

For battleships, carriers and cruisers having this in a digital form
isn't so important, but for destroyers there are more than 700 and an
additiona 900 destroyer escorts. That adds up pretty quickly.

I'm hoping that maybe there's a navy site with this on it, but so far I
haven't been able to find anything.

A listing for Japanese ships would also be really helpful, but this is
too much to hope for.

Have a look at Andrew Toppan's Web site, "Haze Grey and Underway," at
http://www.announce.com/~elmer/ It may have most of what you want.

The Jane's reprint is unreliable, especially about the Japanese. If
you must have a single-source reference I recommend Conway's All the
World's Fighting Ships 1922-1946. Available from The USNI or
Brassey's. Both have a web presence:

USNI - http://www.usni.org/press.html
