AS OF 12/31/1944

Note 1: The Bharatiya Nau Sena's major combat squadrons are now designated in accordance with their major combattant. Hence there are three carrier squadrons, two battle squadrons, three cruiser squadrons, and two marauder squadrons.

Note 2: The composition of Carrier Squadron 1 is somewhat transitional; the ultimate escort for CV Bagh Nakh will be two Dombivli class cruisers and six Rawalpindi class destroyers. However, most of these units remain under construction.

Note 3: I've not bothered to track the locaton of small amphibious craft (LCT, LCVP, LCM)
