Vintage photographs of battleships, battlecruisers and cruisers.

To go directly to photos of a specific ship, simply enter her name in the search window (little white space) at the upper left. Ditto for a type of warship, country, year, etc..., e.g. battlecruiser. You can click on an individual photograph to view it alone against a dark background. When you want to go back to the page, just click outside the picture. Please note that I resize, denoise/despeckle/descratch and generally crop the photos to show mostly the ship itself in the space available.

Birdseye view of the Imperial Japanese Navy Mogami class light-heavy cruiser Suzuya.

This is while she had triple 155 mm (6.1-inch) turrets, up to 1939, and was thus a light cruiser. Later she was re-armed with with twin 203 mm (8-inch) guns, like her sister ships of the the Mogami class, and became a true heavy cruiser.
