The way we came up with the break down of our NSL, NAC fleets, was based
on the Order of Battle for the Battle of Jutland 1916 - one of the last
great fleet only battles (i.e. no carriers). It can be found at:

I know the NSL has a more Austro-Hungarian flavor, but they followed the
German order of battle closely - 

A&H Adriatic Squadron 7th Aug 1914; 
1st Battleship divison - 3 Dreadnoughts
2nd Battleship divison - 3 Battleships, 1 Cruiser
2nd TorpedoFlotilla - 1 lt.Cruiser, 6 Destroyers, 13 Torpedo Boats
