GeneralVikus Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 Hey guys, I've been trying to find a good, condensed source for ship construction by type throughout and ideally immediately prior to World War II. Although this is the kind of thing I would expect to be readily available, all I've been able to find so far are unweildy databases which list each ship class and the construction dates for each individual ship separately, but never a simple table which conveys the number of - for example - destroyers or destroyer escorts were laid down and / or completed by each power in a given quarter or year. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
van stiermarken Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 https://www.naval-encyclopedia.com/ maybe here (included tons of links to other pages)
JollyRoger1516 Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 http://archive.hnsa.org/doc/id/fm30-50-naval/index.htm It is not quite what you're looking for but it might help in your search as it lists most of the active ships as well as sub classes/ships of each type
Dan Dare Posted May 11, 2020 Posted May 11, 2020 Conways' "all the worlds figthing ships" series of books may be of help for your pourposes...
DougToss Posted May 25, 2020 Posted May 25, 2020 Construction as in from laying the keel in the yard? Or fleet building programs and design? Either way, the series of articles So You Want To Build A Battleship are fantastic.
