I've made three new lists: British post-war frigates/destroyers, British Submarines, and US Counties (LSTs were named after counties).
Another new list is various British tankers (RFA ships).

Added for v6.2

A list of various RN replenishment ships.  
Also, a list of US minesweeper names.  These do not include various destroyer conversions, which kept their original names.  These names break down into two types, bird names and virtue names.  These names were used interchangeably between types, although classes usually stuck with one or the other.
The last two lists are US surveillance ships (AGR and T-AGOS types) and US research and survey ships (T-AGOR and AGS types).

Added for v6.2

More ships, this time civilian ones.  I've got naming lists for Liberty Ships, Victory Ships, Empire Ships, and T2 tankers.
Also, I added a French submarine list, which is posted with the other French ships for space reasons.

Added all these and from the post above it.

I've worked up four lists of Royal Canadian Navy vessels.
First, cruisers and carriers. This list is small (11 names) and they were combined for that reason.
Secondly, destroyers, including the Halifax-class frigate.
Thirdly, patrol vessels, including WWII frigates, corvettes, and other assorted patrol vessels.
Fourth, minesweepers.

Added these and the lists from the previous post

And now, the Royal Australian Navy:
Cruisers (also including carriers for numbers reasons)
Destroyers (and modern frigates)
Escorts (including minesweepers)
Amphibious ships

I've recently made a few new lists, and found a problem with one of the old ones.  Due to insufficient cleanup, the Victory-class list had indents after most of the names, which I've removed.  I also attached a list of the various C1, C2, C3 and C4 cargo ships of WW2.  The last two lists are of US Army and US Air Force Bases, primarily intended for PDC use.  RAF bases are in the next post.

RAF bases attached.  I may do more of this type in the future, but finding names is tricky.
Edited:
I've added a partial list of US Army transport ships.  (At one point during WWII, the Army controlled more tonnage than the Navy).  That list may well be added to.  Also, a very incomplete list of American forts, which won't be added to because it's 550 names.  Also, a list of various British coastal fortifications.  It started as a list of the batteries of Gibraltar, and is named thus, but it also contains various permutations on 'fort'.  It's been cleaned up a bit, and the names standardized to make sense in Aurora.

Ahh cool, can always use PDC names.

Here's a recent one:

Prime numbers between 1000 and 9999, randomized.  I planned to use it for a machine race, but I found the 3 factions i'm already running more than enough of a headache.

One more, this one a list of numbers between 1 and 1000, intended for cases where you want to number ships of a type sequentially.  The list is currently formatted as XXX-###, with the intent that you'll do a find and replace on the XXX, then import it.  Steve, don't add this one to the database.

I have been involved in Killer Bee Software's release of Empire Deluxe Internet Edition [EDIE] and am now involved in the upcoming Mobile Edition [EDME].  In EDIE you can replace City, Ship and Leader names.  Here is my leader name file.

You will find names like Berk, Chadwick, Dalgliesh, Dunnigan, Gygax and Zocchi.

I've returned to this, and worked on the two largest navies currently unlisted, China and India. 
This post contains the files I've made for China.  There may be errors, as I still have no clue how the PLAN names its ships.  However, for those of us who aren't Chinese, these should help.
