Best Answer

A list of ships can vary greatly depending on the context. It could include various types of ships such as cargo ships, passenger ships, naval ships, cruise ships, fishing boats, and luxury yachts. Additionally, there are numerous specific ships with their own names like the Titanic, USS Enterprise, Queen Mary 2, and HMS Victory.

The "list" of a Navy vessel (or any vessel that floats for that matter) is the port or starboard lean the vessel takes if it is too heavy on one side, shifting the hull angle of the boat so that it is leaning to one side off of a normal level plane as a result.

The list of any Navy vessel is an extremely important measurement; normally, a ship or submarine should be maintained with a level (side to side) plane or bubble, similar to attempting to keep a carpenter's level at an even, level bubble. If a ship or submarine shows a list to port or starboard, it can mean the vessel is taking on water, cargo/stores/munitions have shifted, or something in general isn't right with the ship. For that reason, all safety and security watches while a vessel is anchored or moored in-port must take hourly readings of the ship's bubble, or level plane measurements, to ensure that if there is any flooding or problem, it can be detected and dealt with quickly.
