Ships

Ships are categorized by their hull classification code (based on the Naval Vessel Register, www.nvr.navy.mil).

Commissioned ships are separated from decommissioned ships, and the distinction is noted.
If a ship had more than one hull classification during its life, it should be listed in the class it had at final decommissioning. Example: USS Wright - CVL49, AVT7, CC2; is listed as a command ship (CC) and thus in Surface_Combatants/Command/USS_Wright. Links from the previous hull classes to the final class should be present.
If more than one hull had the same name (but a different hull classification code), each hull should be listed separately in the appropriate hull category and there should be "related category" links between the ships.
If two or more hulls have the same name AND the same hull classification code, all information relating to those hulls is found together in the same subdirectory. Example: USS Alabama - BB8, BB60.

Please submit only sites dealing with US Navy ships dealing with Mine Warfare in this category.

Aircraft Carrier

This is where you will find links to websites about naval vessels in the Aircraft Carrier (CV, CVN, CVA, CVAN, CVE, CVHE, CVS, CVL) class. These sites include historical and currently active ships.

Amphibious

For and about the Gator Navy. Ship classifications AKA, APA, APD, LCC, LFR, LHA, LHD, LKA, LPA, LPD, LPH, LPR, LPSS, LSD, LSM and LST.

This is where you will find links to websites about naval vessels in the Auxiliary (ACS, AD, ADG, AE, AF, AFS, AG, AGC, AGDS, AGEH, AGER, AGF, AGFF, AGM, AGMR, AGOR, AGOS, AGP, AGR, AGS, AGSS, AH, AK, AKA, AKL, AKR, AKS, AKV, AN, ANL, AO, AOE, AOG, AOR, AOT, AP, APA, APB, APC, APD, AR, ARB, ARC, ARG, ARL, ARS, ARSD, ARST, ARVA, ARVE, ARVH, AS, ASR, AT, ATA, ATF, ATS, AV, AVB, AVM, AVT, AW) classes. These sites include currently active ships and historical websites.

By Name and Classification

Links to ships, by name. If a ship is named after a person, you'll find links under both the first and last names. For example: USS Abraham Lincoln is found under both "A" and "L". If more than one hull has the same name, they will be distinguished by the addition of their hull classification code and number. Example:

USS Antietam - CG54
USS Antietam - CV36

If both hulls were the same hull classification (and thus information lives in the same sub-directory), the link would look like this:

USS Alabama - BB8, BB60

Decommissioned

Link farm that points to all the ship subcategories for the various decommissioned ships.
