	This site is an experimental example of new database technology from Flixco Pty Limited.
	The site covers 1860 to 1947. This period has steam engines replacing sails as the main propulsion, breech loading guns replacing muzzle loaders, steel replacing iron for hull constuction and for armour plate. Warships are beginning to adopt the general arrangements that will persist through WW2. The aim of this site is to cover all fighting warships of all countries down to torpedo boats and escort vessels. Most of the technical data is stored on the ship classes to which the ships belonged. A start has been made on the activities that the ships were involved in: from wars and planned operations through to engagements and accidents. Persons were posted to units with unit types ranging from individual ships through formations and area commands to national governments and sovereign states. Persons held ranks during the postings and some acquired decorations. Ships carried and were attacked by aircraft models that were organised into air units and air formations. Ship Classes were fitted with equipments such as turret models mounting gun models and with sensors. Countries had many enterprises both government and private, including shipbuilders, aircraft manufacturers and ordnance factories. The passage of time is covered by chronologies and time periods. The span of the site is covered in the full site map which is a good start to browsing. Almost every phrase is a link and there is little need to ever return to this Home page as a comprehensive Nav Bars are provided to the left and at the top. For a general sampling of what is on offer try the Site Highlights. The data is organised by Types and the associations between Types. Most things are browsable from the Master Index.
