Warships of the World War

Detailed technical records and historical documentation for the warships of the Second World War — the battleships, aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers and submarines that fought from the Atlantic convoys to the carrier battles of the Pacific. Each entry pairs verified specifications — guns, armour, speed and displacement — with a researched history of the ship's service and fate, and, where available, the signature before-and-after colorization of an original wartime photograph. Filter the collection by coalition, nation, type or theatre.
