Victory at Sea is the game of naval combat during the Second World War

The Kriegsmarine had to be virtually rebuilt after the First World War

For centuries, Japan's policy of seclusion (sakoku) saw it concentrate on coastal defences in order to repel foreign vessels

Two Bismarck-class battleships were built for the Kriegsmarine

The Deutschland-class of warships were relatively small, by battleship standards, but were well armoured and carried the type of armament traditionally seen only on battleships

Yamato (大和, "Great Harmony") and her sister ship, Musashi, were constructed shortly before the outbreak of World War II

The Royal Navy of Great Britain was the world’s greatest navy at the outbreak of the Second World War

Although the United States of America contains a vast area of land, almost all of its allies and trading partners are overseas, and those interests require a powerful navy to support them

HMS Warspite was a Queen Elizabeth-class battleship of the Royal Navy

At one time, the HMS Hood was the largest and possibly most famous ship in the world, representing the supremacy of British sea power

Only the mighty Yamato displaced more than the massive, yet very fast, Iowa-class battleships

USS Idaho, the third of three ships of the New Mexico-class of Battleship, was the fourth vessel to bear the name

Preventing attacks on defenceless merchant ships is the other main role of the navy, and it was her that the war was fought, day in and day out, by the humble corvette, frigate and destroyer escort, and later by escort carriers
