General Specifications

This section contains general specifications of the classes of the various other ships mentioned in The Carrier Project.

Ships are grouped by type - battleships, cruisers, etc. Within each type, classes are sorted by name, without regard to nationality or time period.

Primary sources will be footnoted in the banner for the ship class; secondary sources will be individually footnoted in the data. All of these footnotes refer back to the list of references on this page.

A typical data table, for the American Portland-class heavy cruiser, is shown here:

Portland-class heavy cruiser (1933)
The colored banners indicate the time period of the class. The national flags indicate the country of origin. Any date given will be the date of the first commission in the class, if known.
Displacement: 9,950 tons Speed: 32.7 knots Crew: 848	Length: 610 feet 3 inches Beam: 66 feet 1 inch Draft: 17 feet 1 inch	Weapons: 9 x 8" in three triple turrets, 8 x 5"/25cal in single mounts, 8 x 50 cal machineguns Aircraft: 4 Curtis SOC Seagull floatplanes, 2 catapults
Specifications are based on the original design of the class; individual ships may vary, and refits are not taken into account. Metric units have been converted into standard; metric conversions provided by OnlineConversion.com. Dimensions are overall unless otherwise noted.
Ships in Class
CA-33 USS Portland	CA-35 USS Indianapolis
Most class data tables will include a list of ships in that class. These individual ships will not be listed on the Other Ships list pages, since they are all not mentioned within the context of The Carrier Project; the information is included here for reference only. Those ships that are referenced elsewhere will be displayed in bold italic text, as Indianapolis is above; the name will link back to the Other Ships list entry for that ship.
