OK, odd question for anyone who remembers. 2 Solarian League navy Light Cruisers have been named. One is the Bridgeport, what is the other and where was is mentioned?

Why... well I'm throwing together a spreadsheet of all the mentioned ship types and their specs. I'm farming HoS, SITS, Jane's, text and the pearls for every design type and their details. So I may be asking for more backup in the future.

The Honorverse Wiki lists 14 Solarian Light Cruisers. Each entry cites the book where it is named. http://honorverse.wikia.com/wiki/Catego ... t_Cruisers

Normally, I trust the Wiki about as far as I could throw it- everytime I looked at it I usually find blatant errors- However, there I found it, the Morrigan Class.

2 other classes are mentioned, the retired Liberty class (used as the blueprint for Haven's Charles Wade Pope class) and Maya's Marksman class.

I anyone's interested, I'll share once it's about complete.

I'd like to see it.


I have a much less ambitious version, it started as a spreadsheet of the ships from Jaynes; then I padded it out with SITS. Then later (once it was released) HoS.

But I didn't ever do a serious dive back through the books looking for ship stats; so it only consolidates/repeats what's in the reference materials.

I started where you did - Right now, I'm done with HoS and am currently farming Jayne's and SITS, while inputting what I find and remember as I reread the series. Currently, I have just shy of 200 mentioned designs (by name) on the list, and have another 15 or so I am trying to figure out how to handle. (ForEX, SITS mentions that the IAN usually fields the Mendlessohn BC in concert with BB forces, so clearly the IAN has at least 1 unnamed BB design we have no information about - how is that included on the list? Should it be ignored as an error where "Waller" was intended?)

I'll pin you and anyone else interested once I have SITS done and most of the text farmed.
