Matrix Games Forums

Hi, I just got into the game and I have 0 knowledge about the designs and functions of particular elements of various types of vessels. Can you guys recommend me good sources to look up how ships were designed back in the day and for what purpose, starting with mid XIX century up until end of XX? Books, movies, etc. Thanks

Wikipedia does a good job of covering the basics.

NavWeaps is probably more specialised but also quite detailed in the areas it covers.

After that I'd suggest Janes or Conways.

Thank you! If you have any more recommendations, please let me know
