Welcome
The Naval Weaponry page is the database of warfare in all its forms, from the monstrous guns fitted to mighty battleships to the smallest anti-aircraft machine guns, and everything in-between. Guides to torpedoes, ASW, mines, missiles, and other naval-based weaponry are also included in a near-exhaustive directory, sorted by nation, date, and sometimes calibre. But that’s not all, this is the hub for all types of warships, from the smallest fast attack craft to the mightiest battleships and aircraft carriers. These are sorted by type alphabetically and serve as an alternative for those who wish to study deeper one particular type of warship, rather than all the varying ships of any specific nation. Another hugely ambitious undertaking, work will likely be ever ongoing and subject to change, but for now, step inside and explore the booming world of the naval war machine.
