Project history: We began to issue our own periodicals.
Electronic versions of first two series are already available on our website,
printed versions will be ready in the next few days. Navypedia Magazine is a
naval historical magazine containing original articles, unique photos and
graphics. An electronic version of the first issue for only $ 3.5 is ready, a
printed version will be available in a few days. Navypedia Reference is a new
format of reference books. Reference Series No. 1 is dedicated to the navies of
all countries of the WWII period, containing reference data on building,
performance characteristics, modernization and service, as well as data on naval
weapons and aviation. So Navypedia Reference will become a global and ultimate
WWII naval reference. The uniqueness of the reference is complemented by an
unsurpassed number of high-quality side-view drawings, made with the greatest
possible historical and technical accuracy, first two issues contain 48 and 88
side views respectively. Electronic versions of the first two releases No 1.1 -
RN capital ships, aircraft carrying ships and heavy cruisers and No 1.2 - RN
light cruisers and destroyers built before WWII for only $ 3.5 each can already
be purchased. Printed versions will be ready in the coming days.
Former British 'Ton' class coastal minesweepers. Most portable sweep gear was
