Information concerning membership in the International Naval Research Organization (INRO), publisher of the quarterly journal Warship International, may be found on this website at the “membership” tab. Accordingly, our coverage focuses on the years up through World War II, where authoritative official records have been released to the public and can be used to support such in-depth study. The journal seeks to provide new information based upon documented authoritative sources.
The last several years’ content has included major series of articles on the Imperial Japanese Navy, Imperial German Navy battleship designs, Soviet Navy Cold War shipbuilding programs, British naval operations on the Russian periphery following World War I, and many others. While there always has been much popular interest in prominent capital ships such as the World War II-era battleships, Warship International’s scope of coverage includes the full range of ship types of all nations and treats a wide range of topics concerning warship design, construction, and operations. Jurens provided a detailed study of the actual performance of these ships’ main battery in the article “Fast Battleship Gunnery During World War II: A Gunnery Revolution” in two parts, Vol.42 (2005) No.2 and Vol.43 (2006) No.1. As other examples, our member CDR Strafford Morss USN (Ret.) authored a series of articles providing extensive detail on the battleship Massachusetts (BB-59) and others of these ships: “The Machinery Arrangements of USS Massachusetts (BB-59)” in Vol.41 (2004) No.4 “The Washington Naval Treaty and the Armor and Protective Plating of the USS Massachusetts” in two parts, in Vol.43 (2006) Nos.3-4 and “Excellence Under Stress: A Comparison of Machinery Installations of North Carolina, South Dakota, Iowa, and Montana Class Battleships” in two parts, Vol.47 No.4 and Vol.48 No.1. (Ray) Lewis authored the article “American Battleship Main Battery Armament-The Final Generation” in Vol.11 (1976) No.4, detailing for the first time the late discovery of a serious misunderstanding between design bureaus concerning the diameter of the barbettes intended for the Iowa class.
Navy’s famous battleships of the World War II era have been featured in a number of major articles in this organization’s journal Warship International over the years.
