From a small beginning in 1964, this quarterly journal has become internationally recognized as the most authoritative English-language publication in the warship field. Each issue averages 100 pages, with fact-filled articles, mainly but not exclusively the original work of our members. Subjects cover all navies and all types of ships from about 1860 to date, liberally illustrated with photographs which are highly praised for their quality, many of which have rarely been printed before, and with excellent line drawings and plans-a valuable resource for ship modelers.
Many issues feature full spread centerfold drawings.
It concentrates solely on warships of various types, brief summaries of their careers, and related subjects such as the armoring of ships, elements of ballistics, etc., needed for a full understanding of the ship designs. Past issues have covered all facets of warship designs and types, with emphasis on the smaller, less-known navies and types, and related subjects. The newest types are covered as they appear, but naturally most articles deal with ships no longer in existence. Webmaster with questions or comments about this web site.
