For purposes of comparison, ships have been grouped in the following categories: carriers, cruisers, destroyers, large frigates (which over time have increased in size within the general range of 1600 to 4200 tons full load), light frigates (1000 to 1600 tons), patrol escorts (800 to 1000 tons), large patrol craft (400 to 800 tons), fast attack craft (armed with anti-ship missiles or torpedoes), submarines, minesweepers (here limited to wooden-hulled ships over 290 tons full load), minelayers, and major amphibious ships (LSD and LST). Reclassifications of ships among combatant categories (notably from destroyers to frigates) have for the most part been ignored. Ships are counted as in the inventory from commissioning until they are deleted from the list or unambiguously relegated to auxiliary or subsidiary service. The survey is conducted in geographical order from the north westward around Europe to the Mediterranean. Canada is also included since it is a NATO country.
