    (15) Maritime Disasters of WW II A most interesting site. To quote the author: "To all those interested in the Naval War of 1939-1945, this list details the fate of some 80 of the 'Big Ships', the Battleships, Cruisers, Aircraft Carriers and the civilian luxury liners, some pressed into service as troop transports." A must 'bookmark' site indeed.
