Submarines were critical in the Pacific and Atlantic theatres.
Destroyers saw dramatic improvements, as the Fubuki-class destroyer set a new standard not only for Japanese vessels, but for navies around the world, and are considered to be the world's first modern destroyer. Naval warfare changed dramatically during the war, with the ascent of the aircraft carrier, and the impact of increasingly capable submarines. Ships are designated to the country under which they operated for the longest period of the Second World War, regardless of where they were built or previous service history. Some uncompleted Axis ships are included, out of historic interest. For smaller vessels, see also list of World War II ships of less than 1000 tons. The list includes armed vessels that served during the war and in the immediate aftermath, inclusive of localized ongoing combat operations, garrison surrenders, post-surrender occupation, colony re-occupation, troop and prisoner repatriation, to the end of 1945. This list of ships of the Second World War contains major military vessels of the war, arranged alphabetically and by type.
