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.
