Trends in Force Levels and Disposition of Major Navies Since World War II. Revision

Abstract

This report describes the force structures and dispositions of major navies since World War II. Included are computer-generated 40-year order-of- battle tables for NATO and ANZUS countries, Japan, and the Soviet Union. Geographic charts are also provided that show fleet dispositions in five-year snapshots and during specified crises. Line graphs illustrate trends in both force structures and dispositions over time. These products draw on a 700,000- entry database created by a joint Naval Intelligence-CNA research effort. The database will be dated as of July 1 of every year with current information and whenever pertinent crises warrant inclusion. Keywords: Deployment; Fleets (ships); Great Britain; NATO; Naval vessels (combatants); Naval vessels (support), Navy; Order of battle; Ships; USSR.
