No. Order of battle ... sorry, my english is not enough good, and maybe you don't understand me corectly. From time to time... smile.gif
I need a naval inventory. Bingo! That's the expresion!
How many destroyers, MBT, cruisers, etc.
Im working on one ... pseudo - book, s.f. with another time line, etc. For my hobby. Maybe, in future, who knows...

P.S. - If you have some extra data about calibers, no. of guns, torpedo launchers, speed, name of ships, thanks a lot!

Well I'm impressed, Dragos. I take it that you have no social life or family. wink.gif


If you can get them in Romania, there are two series of books - Conway's and Jane's (Conway's is, I think, printed in the U.S.A., while Jane's is printed in Great Britain), which list all of the naval ships of the world for a given period. Right now, both Conway's and Jane's publish their lists annualy (they are quite expensive), but I know that Conway's has a volume entitled "All the World's Navies 1922 - 1945. (There is also a volume 1905 - 1922). If you are interested in naval matters, I strongly recommend them as they give all of the technical details (amount of armor, guns, engine, crew size, etc) for naval ships of the period covered by the book. The 1922 - 1945 Conways does include a chapter on the Romanian navy

Try a search for "Conway's" under Amazon.com.

The source I used is the excellent book: Marina romana in al doilea razboi mondial (Romanian Navy in WW2) - by Nicolae Koslinski and Raymond Stanescu. Naturally, it includes complete information about Romanian Navy too.

More than that, in the autumn of '41, when the Nikolaev shipyard was conquered by the axis forces, here more war ships were under construction:

1 battleship,

3 heavy cruisers,

4 flagships,

5 destroyers,

8 submarines,

2 gunboats,

1 icebreaker.

Only 2 heavy cruisers, 2 flagships, 3 destroyers, 5 submarines and 1 icebreaker have been evacuated to other ports, the rest were destroyed by the Russians.
