This book comprises four manuals compiled from official sources
during World War II Manuals such as those in this book, were
distributed widely through the fleet and used constantly as a
standard reference. The Office of Naval Intelligence published a
library of manuals that covered our own Navy as well as British,
French, Soviet, Japanese and German Navies, among others. The first
part of this book comprises the manual entitiled ONI 222-US:United
States Naval Vessels. In the official introduction to this manual.
Commodore Thomas B. Inglis, USN,Acting Director of Naval
Intelligence states, "It is a graphic and statistical picture of
the U.S. Navy at its peak in numerical strength. The information in
this maunal is corrected to and as of 1 September 1945." The second
part of this book is study compiled by the Statistical Section of
the Officer of Naval Intelligence. Entitled The United States
Fleet(From Pearl Harbor to Oct. 1, 1945). the purpose of this study
is two fold. As it states in the introduction, "the purpose of the
present table is A: To provide a compact and readily intelligible
overall view of the United States Fleet. (1) Before the onset of
War, (2) At the end of the war, (3) At the present time, and (4) As
presently being built for the future, and B: To present a summary
of the charges which have taken place in the United States Fleet,
Documented by the names or hull numbers of the vessels whose status

and converted/reclassified to other uses. The final part of this
book is a reprint of a 1 December 1944 document entitled Index of
United States Fleet. This document was prepared by Commander, Air
Force, Pacific Fleet. Excepting un-named ships and craft, all
