SHIPS DATABASE

The Ships Database as maintained by the Ship Certification Committee is the official document used to determining the Ship Class Designation (SCD). The primary purpose of the SCDs is to provide a structure that allowsa reasonable degree of equality between ship classes of different navies.

Documentation used to produce the database was the best available. When reputable sources differed the results were averaged. Unreasonable trial speed reports turned in on partially completed ships were not acceptable for determining the vessels operational speed. The Ship Database will be updated whenever creditable information is obtained.

The Ships Database will be posted on the Queen's Own Web Page.
