Many auxiliaries were created
by converting existing ships; others were built new but starting with an
existing design; the balance were both designed and built for their purpose.
In this table, the grey cells identify the second and third categories - the
ships that were purpose-built. There are some gaps in the data,
particularly for the conversions: if anyone has any corrections or additions
to offer, please send them to me at
