Clearly all 1350+ vessels are not going to be listed. But the present one seems to have random un-linked names with no explanation. Would it be better to limit it to:
notable vessels with their own articles
other vessels which can be linked to specific articles (eg naval ship classes)
known surviving vessels (which would require a specific citation)
