Useful Naval History Websites

[LancashireHussar]

Came across this earlier on and the page linked here provides links to about 30 very useful museum and Naval history sites.

Given the wide ranging membership and interests on this site, perhaps other users could post links to history websites on this thread and compile a useful resource?

A few I've come across that are very useful

Provide some good info and shedloads of photos. On a sadder note, the last WWII RN aircraft carrier (ex Vengeance, the Brazilain Minas Gerais) met those lovely people at Alang a couple of years ago. Contrast her fate with what the yanks have done with theirs......

Still, as Birkenhead shows, looks like the UK just isn't interested any more.
