Description
A Massive Expansion of Naval Ship Names!

Works with HOI 4 Ver. 1.6.2

Hate having bland ships without glory and uniqueness?
Have you ever had your immersion broken by the default ships names (ex. USS Light Cruiser 1)?
Do you want to rule the seas with your possible hometown named ship?

Well then this is the Mod for you!

This mod adds a lot of Shipnames that updates your default ship list. Names that is rather Lore Friendly

These ships aren't necessarily real, as realisticly there wouldn't be this much ships in a country's navy but at least you have names for your lions at sea.

Currently only available for the United States Navy and the Imperial Japanese Navy but more is coming so stay tuned!

Do note that some ships may have the same name because either a mistake or a pre-existing name/event.

Ship Name List

United States Navy:

(DD) Destroyers=76 New Names
(CL) Light Cruisers= 200 New Names
(CA) Heavy Cruisers=60 New Names
(BC) Battlecruisers=55 New Names
(BB) Battleships=102 New Names
(CV) Carrier=33 New Names


Basis/Source of USN Names:

Destroyers are State Governors
Light Cruisers are real locations
Heavy Cruisers are Vice Presidents
Battlecruisers are American Battles/Wars as well as overseas territory
Battleships are basically Majestic Names
Carriers are Presidents

Imperial Japanese Navy:

(DD) Destroyers=70 New Names
(CL) Light Cruisers=122 New Names
(CA) Heavy Cruisers=88 New Names
(BC) Battlecruisers=84 New Names

Also countless more from the default folder if you are playing a mod that removes those names.

If you are having problems, please state them in the bugs thread!

Hey @Starfleet74205 I'm not aware if Yeoldeknight is a BSG fan, I must say that I am though (i didn't make the US ship names). I see you're a trekkie, like myself, so you're probably a naval man.

I think the best way of resurrecting this mod would be by opening a discord for it, and getting a couple of MTG fanatics on to pool some resources.

I've got 1000s of ship names sitting in files, but I'm just not on strong enough medication to implement them, and yeoldeknight is as he said busy in university, and i'm sure he's doing a great job on it aha

Great mod, I see you're a BSG fan. becouse one of the battleships I had ended up being named USS Galactica

Its an awesome mod, maybe a update in the future and perhaps adding more Destroyer names

Good luck in university man
YeoldeKnight  [author] 16 Aug, 2019 @ 5:50am 
@Hyde Yes unfortunately, I haven't been able to give time to work on it as I am preparing for University and only able to do stuff when I can and if I can I will probably use it to play abit and study again

Is this mod discontinued?

I dont know, It seems that no matter what mod I use, Base game, Kaiserreich, RT56 with the RT56 Compatable one, anything, they just dont seem to work

@Owl @Owl

Expect:

88 name constellation class for every nation + other stellar nomenclature.

Kreigsmarine/Kaisermarine/Bundesmarine expansion

Royal Navy historical/alt history expansion, and porting of all applicable names to all commonwealth countries.

Regina Marina expansion, especially in the form of hundreds of latin names for endless Roman fleets making the every ocean one gigantic peaceful sea.

Large FAS/DEM/COM/NEU expansion for Francophone/Hispanophone/Lucophone nations.

@Owl We're currently doing a lot of work on both base generic names for different language group countries, as well as extended historical schemes for the RN. Yeoldeknight is on holiday at the minute, and he's well entitled to it. The entire mod scene is head over tits at the minute after recent updates, so we appreciate patience in this affair. The new systems have given us additional tools, but on most countries has left the mod somewhat without need. In the current version of the game, if you leave the naming scheme as none, the ships will spawn with the proper prefix code + one of the surnames or forenames from the name arrays attached to each nation, giving near endless names for ships, albeit non historical/sensible.

That being said, the new naming mechanics allow for great micro management of fleet output, which for naval fags like myself will always be welcome.
