In the middle of the 19th century, cruiser came to be a classification for the ships intended for cruising distant waters, commerce raiding, and scouting for the battle fleet. Cruisers came in a wide variety of sizes, from the medium-sized protected cruiser to large armored cruisers that were nearly as big (although not as powerful or as well-armored) as a pre-dreadnought battleship. |

Part I: Fictional Warships 1850-1899 Notes: all ships are fictional names or real ships with fictional modifications or histories. This section includes all pre-dreadnought battleships and armoured cruisers, even those mentioned in First World War fiction. Ships associated with a specific real class are assumed to be additional ships and listed in broadly chronological order. The specific class and detailed descriptions are determined by textual descriptions and/or visual representations. Name and pennant clashes with real ships are identified. Ships lacking any description are assumed to be of unknown design and named fictional classes are highlighted. For larger nations, real, unidentified and fictional classes are listed separately for clarity. Dates indicate the specific year when the ship is noted or the broad era the design lies within. For more details on fictional weapons, please see Appendix II.

Post subject: | Re: List of Ships in Fiction |
Part II: Fictional Warships 1906-1945 Section Germany, Great Britain & Greece Notes: all ships are fictional names or real ships with fictional modifications or histories. Ships associated with a specific real class are assumed to be additional ships and listed in broadly chronological order. The specific class and detailed descriptions are determined by textual descriptions and/or visual representations. Name and pennant clashes with real ships are identified. National prefixes apply to all ships unless specified. Ships lacking any description are assumed to be of unknown design and named fictional classes are highlighted. For larger nations, real, unidentified and fictional classes are listed separately for clarity. Dates indicate the specific year when the ship is noted or the broad era the design lies within. For more details on fictional aircraft, please see Appendix I. For more details on fictional weapons, please see Appendix II. For more details on fictional electronic systems and radars, please see Appendix III.

Part II: Fictional Warships 1900-1945 Section Italy - Yugoslavia Notes: all ships are fictional names or real ships with fictional modifications or histories. Ships associated with a specific real class are assumed to be additional ships and listed in broadly chronological order. The specific class and detailed descriptions are determined by textual descriptions and/or visual representations. Name and pennant clashes with real ships are identified. Ships lacking any description are assumed to be of unknown design and named fictional classes are highlighted. For larger nations, real, unidentified and fictional classes are listed separately for clarity. Dates indicate the specific year when the ship is noted or the broad era the design lies within. For more details on fictional aircraft, please see Appendix I. For more details on fictional weapons, please see Appendix II. For more details on fictional electronic systems and radars, please see Appendix III.

Post subject: | Re: List of Ships in Fiction |
Part III: Fictional Warships 1945-2020 Section Argentina - South Africa Notes: all ships are fictional names or real ships with fictional modifications or histories. Ships associated with a specific real class are assumed to be additional ships and listed in broadly chronological order. The specific class and detailed descriptions are determined by textual descriptions and/or visual representations. Name and pennant clashes with real ships are identified. Ships lacking any description are assumed to be of unknown design and named fictional classes are highlighted. For larger nations, real, unidentified and fictional classes are listed separately for clarity. Dates indicate the specific year when the ship is noted or the broad era the design lies within. For more details on fictional aircraft, please see Appendix I. For more details on fictional weapons, please see Appendix II. For more details on fictional electronic systems and radars, please see Appendix III. Algeria Al Joumhouria (Pr.877 Kilo Class): 1988 Sidi Fradj (T-?)
