For more recent descriptions of fleet inventories you should try to locate one of the volumes of “(The Naval Institute Guide to) Combat Fleets of the World”, published roughly every 2 years since the mid 70s.
(ok, the recent 15th. edition is of 2007…)
Older issues are available at second-hand-bookshops at good prices.

Here in Germany we have a series of books called “Weyers Flottentaschenbuch/Warships of the World” first published in 1900.
About every 2 years it lists all ships of all navies with comprehensive tables, drawings and a lot of photos. The older issues are all german language only but that should be no problem as there is not much narrative included.
Many older issues were reprinted.
