For centuries naval power has shaped the course of history. The age of exploration, the growth of trade and commerce, and the building of empires were dictated by the definition and delivery of naval concepts, along with the designs of vessels that made civilizations flourish. The inevitable clash of ambition and territorial expansion made war at sea an instrument of policy and procedure. Through the ages, warships have evolved from the galley to the modern aircraft carrier, each in turn projecting the power of its national presence across the globe. Those warships presented here have left their imprints on the course of history with tales of heroism on the high seas, the sagas of men and their wind and engine-powered machines. Come and consider these memorable warships that have found fame in the annals of naval history.
