Editorial:
Dear readers, hello and welcome!
As our Parisian friends say in an appropriate formula “Fluctuat nec mergitur”! And indeed your magazine navigates and stays the course to always offer you the unpublished.
After consultation with the publisher, there is a small change on the bridge that I will occupy modestly. I had the pleasure of publishing from the first issue of the journal, then episodically some articles of which the last very recently.
Passionate about ships, lover of the sea since my childhood in Corsica, captivated by underwater archeology, I have followed research in
Mediterranean, even if the sometimes tragic story of ocean liners is my hobby!
But hey, enough about me, that's not the important thing for you! What matters is the content of the magazine, and it will captivate you again!
After a very rich news, given the context, return to the Pacific to follow the US Navy destroyers in 1945.
A short detour to the Far North with the Allied navies in Russia in 1916/19, before find warmer waters to follow aircraft carriers in the Indian Ocean.
You will then discover the role of river gunboats during the First World War, the sinking ignored of a small liner and the story of a barge from a landing craft.
It is therefore, as one President said, “change in continuity”.
Small change: the establishment of a designer section to present new products, number of readers practicing this corollary hobby of their passion.
But above all the return of the Readers' Mail! We are waiting for your feedback, details, Questions ! Your keyboards !
Here, take to the sea, more or less calm, that's all for you! E La Nave Va!
