Note on references for contracts: Not all contract dates given have the same level of accuracy. This is due to a discrepancy between orders to navy yards which are undated, but given with a date at which work shall commence. in that case the latter date is given and is different from the keel laying date. In some cases hull numbers are not mentioned for issued contracts and most likely candidates have been guessed, because it seemed obvious (from hull number sequencing and from the appearance of hull numbers in the actively building list from one FY to the next). All contract information comes from the Annual Report of the Secretary of the Navy for each FY and no other sources to correlate to. The majority of contracts are exact quotations, especially for private yards and for ships that are not auxiliaries.
