a bit offtopic but I am sure its fine

Hello everyone!

I am working on a small project of sorts that is meant to display different countries naval construction programs during world war II but I have run into a bit of a problem, I have reached the british corvette/frigate crash-program and by extension the flower class of corvettes. I have been trying to find a list of the names given to them in pure text form so it can be processed in a easy way but have been unable to find this kind of list and thought maybe somewhere here know where I could find this kind of list?

An example of what i mean by "pure text form" doesnt of course have to be exactly like this but something along these lines.


"Gallant" "Garland" "Gipsy" "Glowworm" "Grafton" "Grenade" "Grenville" "Greyhound" "Griffin" "Hardy" "Hasty" "Havock" "Hereward" "Hero" "Hostile" "Hotspur" "Hunter" "Hyperion"

"Afridi" "Ashanti" "Bedouin" "Cossack" "Eskimo" "Gurkha" "Maori" "Mashona" "Matabele" "Mohawk" "Nubian" "Punjabi" "Sikh" "Somali" "Tartar" "Zulu"

"Icarus" "Ilex" "Imogen" "Imperial" "Impulsive" "Inglefield" "Intrepid" "Isis" "Ivanhoe" "Harvester" "Havant" "Havelock" "Hesperus" "Highlander" "Hurricane"

"Laforey" "Lance" "Gurkha" "Lively" "Legion" "Lightning" "Lookout" "Loyal" "Milne" "Mahratta" "Musketeer" "Myrmidon" "Matchless" "Meteor" "Marne" "Martin"

There's a pretty extensive list of Flower-class corvettes of the Royal Navy and other navies on uboat.net.

Not "pure" text like the example you provided, but purer than the list on the Wikipedia article.

I also went ahead and prepared both the British and Canadian vessel names for copy-pasting into a RTW shipnames.dat file, I hope you don't mind if I took away your work there.

Thanks for the help that text file is perfect! my pet project is not necessarily for RTW2 but now that I think about it could be applied here
