US “new” Navy: 1883 to 1904
I actually posed this awhile ago, the first fleet list I posted actually. This is an updated version (I've deleted the old one to avoid confusion). I reflects the losses of the Spanish-American War and some changes due to shifts in the TL plus improved data I've found.
A few extra notes. The Saratoga class armoured cruisers are the OTL battleship USS Maine with three extra sisters (Blaine butterflies). The Kearsage class is the OTL USS New York again with three sisters (more Blaine butterflies). While the Bunker Hill class is the OTL USS Brooklyn but with a sister ITTL (indirect Blaine butterflies). The USS Maine ITTL is a sister to the OTL USS Texas (direct Blaine butterflies). The first 1883 USS Denver is also unique to TTL as is the entire Fort Worth class (indirect Blaine butterflies again). As you can see, most of these extra ships are due to Blaine butterflies. Really only the Extra USS Denver can't be traced to him.
Finally the Ticonderoga class is the OTL Pennsylvania class and the Lake Champlain class is the OTL Tennessee class. How two of those end up being sold to Japan in 1905 is something I won't go into right now
