55 Days at Sea: Ship List Update-Britain and Japan

An update, now, to the list of vessels that were in theatre during the Boxer Rebellion in 1900. Some ferreting around at battleships-cruisers.co.uk, along with some 'deep googling' elsewhere, has revealed some more information on who was what, where, and when.

I can't say that this is by any means a perfect list, and anyone with more information is welcome to contribute, but this is what I have so far. Where known, I've included the ship type and class, and the relevant Navwar catalogue code for the vessel, type, or likely 'look-a-like':

Great Britain:

Battleship (First Class Modern Ironclad):

HMS Centurion, Barfleur: Centurion Class, Navwar N1130

Goliath: Canopus Class, N1127

Armoured Cruiser:

Orlando, Aurora, Undaunted: Orlando Class, N1352

Endymion: Edgar Class, N1342

Powerful: Powerful Class, N1344

1st Class Cruiser:

Dido, Isis: Eclipse Class, N1341

2nd Class Cruiser:

Bonaventure, Hermione: Astrea Class, N1357

Pique: Apollo or Aeolus Class, N1355

Arethusa: Leander Class: no known equivalent in Navwar catalogue

3rd Class Cruiser:

Mohawk, Cossack: Archer Class: no known equivalent in Navwar catalogue; some doubt as to whether Cossack was present, Mohawk was from Australian New South Wales contingent.

Wallaroo (ex-HMS Persian): Pearl Class, N1354, from Australian New South Wales contingent.

Torpedo Boat Destroyer:

Fame: Desperate Class, in Navwar catalogue under 'D' class destroyer, N1528

Despatch Vessel:

Troop Ships/Hospital Ships:

SS Salamis: Class unknown, no Navwar equivalent, part of Australian NSW contingent

Orontes: Class unknown, no Navwar equivalent

As you can see, plenty of gaps in the coverage at Navwar, and my knowledge: any suggestions for good look-a-likes would be appreciated!
