Anyone know where I can find this? I Googled it but all I got was either antiqued information, essays, or budgets, not actual numbers.

If it were mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeee....

I'd try www.navy.mil

Oh, thanks! I tried finding that site, but I guess I didn't think of .mil...

In fact, try http://www.chinfo.navy.mil/navpalib/new ... tatus.html

eh, it's good, but it doesn't have a complete breakdown- just lists total ship strength and submarines. I'm looking more for X number of carriers, X number of destroyers, etc.

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ ... index.html

Bold is ships currently in service, normal text is older ships no longer in service. Italics represent projects currently under development.

Also http://www.warships1.com/US.htm and http://www.hazegray.org/worldnav/

That would probably be classified, the way the navy guards things about the nuclear carriers and Los Angeles class subs. There used to be a site where you could actually track the movements of the carrier groups, but the gubbment shut it down.

And whhhhhhy do you want to know this, hmmmmmmm? Planning to visit Iraq or North Korea and take a "tour" of the governmental buildings? (j/k)

The US has not concealed its actual number and types of vessels since 1945, when losses where generally concealed until they could be announced alongside a victory.

The only thing that's kept secret is some internal aspects of warships. For example civilian cameras have never seen the engine room of a 688.

Or a Seawolf I believe...

Every sub built within the last 30 years or so actually. Its only in the last decade or so that anything internal been seen. Go back to the cold war, and you couldn't find a photo of a USN sub in dry dock. Even today there not that common and generally don't show the propellers.

Sea, was it Toshiba or Hitachi that got the plans for the ultra quiet props during the early 80's

I'd try www.fas.org, if you couldn't look anywhere else.

This site might help.
www.battleships-cruisers.co.uk
there is info about the USN and other countries naval forces.

FAS sucks shit, especially for this, since it hasn't had an update to its conventional military sections since 2000.

Hah! Found a nice bit of info from warships1...Russian friend of mine claimed Russia had 22 carriers. They only have 1!

Bwahahaha!

FAS is not a very good source.

With less then half the airgroup of USN vessels, 18 Flankers vs. 50 Hornets and Tomcats, along with four E-2s and a varying number of EA-6 prowlers and S-3 Vikings. Though USN carriers can for the most part support up to 75 fixed wing aircraft plus as many helicopters as the Kuznetsov.

22 sounds more like the total number of active Russian surface combatants.

That's okay, I haven't used it since 2000.

All Hands Magazine puts out a year in review issue annually. They contain listings of all U.S. ships, air squadrons, weapons systems, and all sorts of useful info. I'm in the process of tracking down an online version for you.

Here you go:

Surface Ships

Submarines

Carriers

Everything Else Navy

I hope this helps.

Wow...thanks a lot, everyone.

This is another good site.

I saw your Warships1 link and didn't notice the Hazegray one.
