Title: Archival Research WW2 era
Post by: DanMC91 on 18 January 2026 12:28:23 pm
Hi all,

I’m currently researching a vessel that was transferred to the Royal Navy in the early days of the war under the Destroyers for Bases Agreement. I’m trying to identify which ADM series record vessel armaments for this period.

From previous research on First World War vessels, I know that sources such as 'the Appropriation List of Gun Mounts' and 'the List of His Majesty’s Ships Showing Their Armaments' are found in the ADM 186 series. Is there an equivalent ADM series that covers ship armaments for Second World War vessels?
