Nimitz ship list (details)

Introduction

The excellent WWII naval combat game Nimitz, by Sam Mustafa, uses data cards for each ship, flight of aircraft, and land base.

Lists for each navy can be downloaded from the Sam Mustafa website.

These are great, but I wanted a way of generating a custom list for each engagement.

I therefore created a webpage that enables you to configure a custom ship list.
