| Note: *** I do not have anything "official" on Asiatic Fleet organization in 1940. This page is based on the 1939 organization, with known changes, such as teh addition of LANGLEY and HOUSTON and the subtraction of AUGUSTA. While I have matched commanders tot he unitsthey led, the actual organization of the fleet shown here should be taken as only a rough approximation at best. |
