Couple more votes - not sure if these are listed in the "full list"..
German WWI Armored Cruiser Prinz Adalbert class
German WWI Armored Cruiser Roon class
Both types were active in the early part of the war though 3 of the 4 were lost before the end of 1915.

I’ve noticed that almost all the votes in the Consolidated Micronaut Wish List are for those ships that are already in the “top 100†that I post. To mix things up a bit, I thought I would provide a bump for some types that don’t appear in the posted list.
I just looked through the full list and for each group of vote totals selected one type that I thought deserved more attention. None of these appear yet on the posted list, but I thought that this would encourage some others to pull up their individual favorites that still don’t have enough votes to make the posted list.
WWII USA Coast Guard cutter Active (WPC-125) class – This was a relatively large class of small cutters that were classified as submarine chasers during the war. Boosted from one vote to two votes
WWI USA battleship Tillman design IV-2 – The only hypothetical in my list today, this design is the result of what happens when designers are asked what is possible without regard to what is realistic. Boosted from two votes to three votes
WWII UK Mulberry Harbour components (Bombardon, Phoenix, Spud, Whale, and Beetle) – I’d like to have these accessories to the Normandy invasion. Boosted from three votes to four votes
WWII UK light cruiser Colony class (Bermuda, Jamaica, Mauritius), late-war appearance – The survivors of this class had “X†main turret removed and more light anti-aircraft added. Boosted from four votes to five votes
WWI Japan battlecruiser Kongo class, as originally built – This would be a good starter for a new GWJ series. Boosted from five votes to six votes
WWI UK battlecruiser Renown class, as originally built – Although not completed until after Jutland, these powerful ships did see some combat in WWI. Boosted from six votes to seven votes
WWII USA civilian cargo ship C1-M-AV1 type – Over 200 ships of this type were built; about half remained civil and about half became Alamosa (AK-156) cargo ships. Boosted from seven votes to eight votes
WWII USA light cruiser Juneau (CL-119) class – These were replacements for lost Atlanta class anti-aircraft cruisers with modified armament. They would have been useful in protecting carriers from Kamikaze attack during the invasion of Japan. Boosted from eight votes to nine votes
WWII UK light cruiser Effingham – This ship was a Frobisher-class heavy cruiser re-armed with faster-firing six-inch guns. The Royal Navy had intended to re-arm all of the Frobishers in a similar manner. Boosted from nine votes to ten votes
WWII Japan heavy cruiser Maya, late-war appearance – After severe damage, the third 8-inch turret was replaced with two twin 5†guns for improved anti-aircraft capability. Boosted from ten votes to eleven votes
WWII Italy torpedo boat/escort Spica class – These were effective multi-purpose escorts in the Mediterranean. Boosted from eleven votes to twelve votes
WWII France torpedo boat La Melpomène class – These attractive miniature destroyers were not very effective in their intended role but were actively engaged in a variety of combats. Boosted from twelve votes to thirteen votes
WWII France destroyer Vauquelin class – Despite its label, GHQ’s FRN5 represents the torpedo armament of the Aigle class rather than that of the Vauquelin class. Boosted from thirteen votes to fourteen votes
I invite all the Micronaut enthusiasts out there to contribute your list of neglected ships so I can add them to the Wish List.
