Love the data, but could you make the bases & squadron names a bit more prominent, or at least different from the ship names? It would make things a LOT more readable.

This is why the British don't post their fleet lists often...they don't like to scare the rest of the world.

So the E-class Cruisers are in Jamaica. Good to know.

I'll see what I can do about that; it was a nicely-formatted Access report, but the formatting didn't survive BBS...

There's a howler of a mistake in there; I'm going to leave it for a while and see if anyone notices.

EDIT:

OK, that was - interesting.

"Is that Southampton, the port, or Southampton, the cruiser..."

Oh, and I found at least one other mistake. So, there are two for you to find.

Mombassa as a Home Fleet Base
And Warspite now attached to a Destroyer flottila

Much easier to read. Just curious, the Angola deployment is part of that AANM/UK naval agreement?

Nope, the Angola deployment is a strategic deployment along the South Atlantic trade routes; I'm sure I had a South American station somewhere, but I seem to have mislaid it...

As regards the mistakes, Mombasa is one, and I hadn't noticed Warspite. The other one I picked up on is the fact that I'm listing the Elizabethans as in the Mediterranean Fleet, when they're now in the RCN. I shall now correct those errors.

Hi,

IIRC, Angola belongs to Iberia. I guess you´re referring to Namibia.

Otherwise there is only the island of Ascension which does not belong to the SAE (St. Helena does).

Namibia, Nigeria, Guyana, Falklands, Acension Is and most likely Deception Is as well.

The South American station, it seems, is in the Pacific Ocean. Hence, it's comprised wholly of a destroyer flotilla - that'll be up for the chop when I rationalise deployments.

I've changed Angola to Namibia - not sure how I goofed on that, singe Angola never has been British, either in OTL or WesWorld (as far as I know...)

Very impressive stuff... I didn't know Benbow and Marlborough were still in service. In Singapore, no less!

I'd put the Pacific Destroyers out of the Pitcairn Islands, if do no other reason than the watch the Chileans that are using it as a forward anti-piracy patrol base/coaling station (through an agreement with Great Britian).
