I wonder if Steve could be convinced to add all these of in the next version of Aurora by default.
Most of the ones I did are included.  I'm not sure if the ones from 2013 and later got added in.

I'm currently using Star Trek Federation style naming for my ships and the classes, every time I design a new class I chuck it into a name file with as many canon/non canon instances I can find. Currently the classes included are.

Akira
Apollo
Constitution
Defiant
Hermes
Monach
Nova
Steamrunner

Anytime I add to this list I will put update the zip for anyone who wants it. I have got all these ships with the USS prefix simply because in my current game I tend to only name the class & ship of military ships, thus it makes things easy when looking down a list.

Cheers, the navy lists are helpful :D

I've decided to move to doing one file per navy at this point, both to ensure lists of reasonable length and to cut down on the amount of work required.  Here are lists for Brazil and Spain.
However, when I went to do Turkey, I found the data more or less pre-sorted, so I did two, one containing combatants (I know it says surface combatants, but due to the amount of overlap, submarines were also included) and the other one other vessels.
Also, I'm still taking requests if anyone wants a specific navy done.

And one last file for India.
Also, three files for Korea, as labeled.  Other contains amphibs, mine warfare, and other auxiliaries.

And now for India.  Nothing special to report.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
