I'm relatively new to the period and am looking to recreate the Battle of Port Arthur, can anyone recommend where I might find reasonably comprehensive OOBs for both fleets? Many thanks

What I'm most keen to find out is the numbers and if possible classes of the escorts/non-Capital ships so I can represent them as accurately as possible

Russian Ships for the Battle BB Pobieda BB Peresviet BB Petropavlovsk BB Sevastopol Cruisers Bayan, Askold, Diana, and Novik Japanese Ships for the Battle BB Mikasa BB Asahi BB Shikishima BB Fuji BB Yashima BB Hatsuse Cruisers Iwate, Yakumo, Chitose, Takasogo, Suma, Tokiwa, Azumo, Yoshino and Kasagi. This is from the old GDW game on the Russo Japanese War. I will try to get you the lighter ships as well. It may just be the numbers of destroyers and torpedo boats however. Russian Destroyers from the Russo-Japanese War Society site Rastoropini a Pulki class Beztrashni namesake of its class Japanese destroyers 1st Destroyer flotilla Shirakumo and Asashino both Shirakumo class Kasumi and Akatsuki bot Akasuki class 2nd Destroyer flotilla Ikazuchi and Inadzuma both Inadzuma class Oburo 3d Destroyer flotilla Usuguma, Shinonome, and Suzanami hope this helps Brad
