These ship lists are intended to give a broad overview of the fleet as of 1989 with its new construction listed through 92-95. I've made the assumption that the pending retirements and transfers of the older ships was placed on hold with the onset of the Soviet/Chinese war and that some of the ships nearing completion are being rushed ahead.
I did not list the homeports of the ships due to the numerous round of base closings that were ongoing in real life as well as the operational deployment of the USN. Atlantic Fleet refers to the 2nd and 6th Fleets and the Pacific Fleet refers to the 3rd, 5th and 7th Fleets.
Fifth Fleet is a wartime only command and there is no clear-cut assignment for it. I've seen statements that it will assume responsibility for the Northern Pacific as well as it will assume the Indian Ocean/Persian Gulf areas. Of the two, I belive that Seventh Fleet will face off against the Soviet Union in the North Pacific while Fifth Fleet takes over the IO/PG areas.
