review text: The conjugacy classes of unipotent elements in finite and algebraic groups of Lie type have been studied over a long period. However, perhaps surprisingly, there is a rather natural problem that has not been completely addressed in the literature -- namely, finding explicit representatives for the conjugacy classes of unipotent elements in finite classical groups. In this paper, the authors describe explicitly representatives of the conjugacy classes of unipotent elements of the finite classical groups.
