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

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.

Rastoropini a Pulki class
Beztrashni namesake of its class

Japanese destroyers
1st Destroyer flotilla
Shirakumo and Asashino both Shirakumo class

hope this helps
