I ran across a book on google books called "An Authentic Narrative of the Russian Expedition against the Turks by Sea and Land" by an Officer on board the Russian fleet, published in 1772.
In it was some info on the ships off Chios:

Russian ships

Ship name...........Captain.........Crew.......Guns

Admiral Elphinston's Division
Svetaslov..........Kmetevskoy........670........84
Ne Tron Menya......Beschentsov.......512........66
Saratov............Stepanov..........512........66
Northern Eagle*....Jenjusnehov..................32
Nadishda...........Palivinov.........212........32
Africa.............Cleopin...........212........32
Count Czernichev...Dishington...................22
Count Panin........Bodie........................18
Count Orlov........Arnold.......................18
Sv. Paul...........Preston.......................6

Admiral Spiridov's Division
Sv. Eustafia........Kruse (Flag).....512........66
Europa..............Klokachev........512........66
Januare.............Borisov..........512........66
Trochsvatoi.........Roxburg..........512........66
Sv. Nicholai........Policue.....................32

Count Orlov (when he joined the fleet near Paros)
Troch Hierarche....................512........66
Rasa Slav.........Gregoriech.......512........66
A bomb ketch

* The Northern Eagle was a 66 SOL that was unfit for service and repaired at Portsmouth by Adm Elphinston and used as a hospital ship and armed with 32 guns.

Turkish ships
Guns
The Capitana Hali Bey.........100
The Capitana Bacha.............96
The Catrona Aucharee...........84
The Reala Mustapha.............84
The Mulensi Achmet.............84
The Zefir Bey..................80
The Achmett....................74
The Emir Mustapha..............70
The Hamesi.....................60
The Barbaroscena...............60
The Hali Condicta..............60
The Meehin.....................60
The Repulin Bacha..............60
The Rhodes.....................60

(I did the best I could with the Russian names. If someone would like to make corrections - please do.)

Is the any way to know the actual names of the Turkish ships? They seem to be named by their captain except for the Rhodes.
