Full name is "Galileo Galilei", so if you only take the second name (as it is the habit with Italian ships) this makes Galilei.

No problem [:)]

The Navy of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is taking some time due to language problems and disagreement on information.

Example of language problems - Hovhannes Stepani Isakov also has an Armenian and a Russian spelling but is really Ivan Stepanovich Isakov.

Apologies if I have missed them amongst all those subs, but what about Comintern, Voroshilov and Molotov? - these cruisers were part of the Black Sea Fleet.

There must have been destroyers in the Black Sea too?

There must have been destroyers in the Black Sea too?

I also missed the:

Light Cruiser Komintern (ex Pamyat Merkuriya (Memory of Mercury)) (CL)
Light Cruiser Molotov (CL)
Light Cruiser Voroshilov (CL)

Yes, there were Destroyers but no indication of the units they were in.

http://www.orbat.com/site/history/volum ... 201941.pdf

[:D] You will note they missed Molotov and Voroshilov also. [:D]

As far as I know there is no site that lists an OOB for the Soviet Northern Fleet or Pacific Fleet. These were done from scratch.

Where are all the other destroyers?

Extraneous · Post by **Extraneous** » Sun Nov 14, 2010 1:31 am

ORIGINAL: Terminus

Where are all the other destroyers?

I was concerned for the Carriers, Battleships, and crusiers that would be involved and where they would be at.

[:D] I do have the destroyers. [:D]

I just didn't think they would be that important as far as the game is concerned.

Just to give you a sample I did Japanese and the Americans today.

[X(] Updated France (quite a bit). I found several errors among the sloops that had to be followed by class in order to straighten them out. [X(]

British are done. I didn't do the Indian Navy because at this time it is just a command structure and a hand full of Patrol escorts.

Just a FYI to explain the Japanese OOB that I am working on.

Merchant conversion 87:
During World War II the Japanese navy requisitioned at least 87 merchant vessels of 700 tons and over and converted them to Minelayers and Gunboats.

Merchant conversion 112:
During World War II the Japanese navy requisitioned at least 112 merchant vessels of under 700 tons (mostly whalers and trawlers) and converted them to Minesweepers.

These converted merchant ships whether designated Minesweepers or Minelayers were often used as Gunboats or Submarine Chasers.
