Hello David,
Unfortunately I am (still) too busy to go into the extreme details of your question but perhaps until then you can accept this small manuscript from me (in English language) which describes the development of the Russian Pacific Fleet,. including during the years of the Great Patriotic War 1941-1945 and which I downloaded some time ago from one of the Russian websites. So here it is.
Enjoy the reading.
