I'm sure that there are lists of the squadrons and the admirals that have counters representing them in FFW floating around.
One problem is that some people (me among them) think that the list is inadequate, because FFW was produced at a time when the population modifier hadn't been introduced. Thus the forces in FFW is based on the assumption that all worlds has (effectively) a PM of 1. Once the PMs are taken into account, you have five times as many taxpayers which (IMO) implies higher budgets which implies more ships and squadrons (Note: Not necessarily five times more).
Another problem is that the list shows admirals and squadrons that MIGHT have been sent to reinforce the Marches. This probably means that some of them wasn't actually sent there "for real". For example, there are four or five admirals in the countermix that are senior to Sector Admiral Santanocheev. This probably represents many or all the sector admirals in Deneb and Corridor. In "reality" one or two of them went to the Marches and the others stayed in Deneb and Corridor and ran things there. FFW presents the possibility of playing the "What If" scenario that someone else went and someone else stayed. Something similar would apply to the ships.
There are a few ships and squadrons that are mentioned in various canonical sources, but a full list of all of them, no.
