I've been going through Tzoli's comprehensive list of Soviet project numbers that he has complied.

It raises an interesting question. To what extent were other Warsaw Bloc nations tied into the Project numbering system?
The East German list here: http://www.vierte-flottille.de/schiffeu ... ktevm.html indicates the GDR had its own separate numbering system, but East German ships were accommodated within the Soviet system where conflict occurred (for example Project 133 Antares/ Muravey class guard ship and Project 133.1M Parchim II class corvette. The Poles too seemed to have their own system but it seems a very long numbering list and several of the 770 series transports do not overlap with other Soviet designs.
Then there is the odd case of Romania, very few of its ships have Project numbers but the Tetals (Pr.1048) and the Mihail Koganiceanu class river monitor (Pr.1310) had such numbers assigned at they fall within unused Soviet numbers. Oddly other Romanian ships like the Muntenia Class don't have numbers.

Can any of our E.Bloc experts untangle this mess? And would it be possible for use to tease out a complete list of all E.Bloc project numbers?

polish and east german project numbering where indeed national and did not correspond to the Soviet system, thought using them at first place was offcourse influenced by that of the soviet one. The german system particulary was rather comprehensive, it covered all projects since the 50's and often issued decimal numbering for each individual ship of the class (this was also used for the soviet made ships at least in cases of the larger combatants). I think the most overlapsing issues seems to come when they exported their ships to Soviet union which then used those same numbers though I recall that some polish vessels had different pr. numbers in soviet use (perhaps Eswube can help with those?)
Romanian numbers are indeed rare and I've never came cross to them in any actuall romanian publication.

Very nice attempt Hood, but actually somewhat confusing, as it's actually not as much a "list of Polish project numbers" but rather "list of project numbers and design acronyms of ships built and used in Poland".
Indeed each country used it's own project number sequence , but they were to an extent interchangeable in the sense that ships built in one country for another had only one project number (rare exception being the missile boat designated by NATO as BAL-COM 10, which was Pr.151 in East German sequence and Pr.660 in Polish sequence).

The numbers on the list actually belong to three groups, only two of them (or one-and-a-half) is actually Polish.
1) ships built in Soviet Union (like Pr.205 or Pr.877 for example) or Hungary (Pr.101) and/or built in Poland under license which kept their original "foreign" project number (occassionaly with only an additional post-number letter for local design modification);
2) ships built in Poland for foreign - most often Soviet - order (either only for export - Pr.775 for example, or both for export and domestic use - Pr.770-family for example), having the same project number in both sequences (Polish and Soviet);
3) actual "Polish project numbers" (Pr.207, for example).

Next thing are the project numbers with B-letter (Pr.B410 or Pr.B-410 depending on source). Generally these refer to civilian vessels, but with a caveat: the military project numbers were confidential, but the construction of any vessel involves of numerous sub-contractors, often delivering relatively trivial elements, therefore the "military-ordered ships" had, besides their main (confidential) project number, the secondary ("public") project number with B letter, used as internal designation of the design bureau and for contacts with sub-contractors, which thereby didn't need to know the "actual" designation.

And finally, the last group on the list - besides containing the D-3 which is simply a non-Pr. Soviet designation, it contains some ships that generally belong to the "basic" lists as their extensions (like NS-717 or NS-723, whose numbers belong to original sequence but after the post-1989 political changes no longer use the Pr. but use the NS- - for Navy Shipyard - instead) and some separate non-sequential designations like ST which was essentialy a correspondence cryptonym rather than the "usual project number". There are also some fishing boats there, but the details of their designations are as yet unclear for me - I have relatively recently acquired a very interesting book about Polish fishing boats (with lots of drawings - hint, hint ), but I didn't had the opportunity to read it yet.

I'll try to eventually compile the list of Polish project numbers, but that's unlikely to happen too soon, I'm afraid.

P.S. - Not Pr.194BMO but Pr.194 BMO - BMO is a separate designation (Bronirovanny Malyi Okhotnik - Armored Small Submarine Chaser), not an extension of project number (like Pr.667B/BD/BRD/BDRM), as that would imply existence of earlier Pr.194B/BM.

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes it is a compilation at the moment, the Soviet/ E.Bloc imports will be removed - they are placeholders at the moment.
The group at the bottom are unknown's, I suspect many of these may have Project numbers but don't know for sure. As you say the NS sequence is post cold-war so should be removed.

I included ships built for Soviet/ E.Bloc accounts for completeness, though I have these marked on the Soviet list too.

I'm sure there are hundreds of B-numbers, this is a tiny selection I've come across. I complete list will be hard to compile and would be a big list but I'm sure we could get there in the end.
