These texts were from Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships 1906-1921 and 1922-1946
Late 19th century:
The 1899 Naval Expansion Programme:
My notes:
The 4 built river monitors were ships of the Ion C. Bratianu class
The 8 river torpedo-boats are the ships of the Capitan Nicolae Lascar Bogdan class
Pre WW1:
The 1912 Naval Programme:
My notes:
The light cruisers were apparently of British origin or at least the British (probably Vickers) proposed designs for Romania.
The 4 built destroyers were the ships of the Marasti class from out of which only 2 were re-purchased by Romania, their Italian name was the Aquila class
The submarine was ordered from Italy but construction not started apparently.
The 13.000ton coastal battleship should had been similar to the Austro-Hungarian Radeztky class Battleships.
Post WW1:
The gains:
My notes:
France requisitioned 3 submarines originally ordered by Romania in 1916-17 and commissioned them as the O'Byrne class in 1921
The acquired 7 torpedo-boats were 4 ships of the Viforul and 3 ships of the Naluca class, these ships were former Autro-Hungarian boats. Though only 6 reached Romania the 7th sunk on passage.
The ex-French ASW Gunboats were the Friponne class became the Capitan Dumitrescu class though only 4 commissioned, the 5th used as spares.
Pre WW2:
The 1927 Naval Programme:
My notes:
The 2 finished destroyers out of 4 were the ships of the Regele Ferdinand class.
The two submarines from which only 1 was acquired was the Delfinul class
The submarine depot ship was the Constanta
The 1937 Naval Programme:
My notes:
The cruiser was the Italian scout cruiser design by OTO - Odero Terni Orlando, later a larger big gun cruiser of the UP-90 type were proposed but neither design was accepted.
The destroyers are unknown, probably Italian design in origin, none were started.
From the 3 submarines only 2 were started in 1938, the Requinul and Marsuinul
The Minelayers were the ships of the Amiral Murgescu class
