Wow! There's not a single article that doesn't have something to interest me. The ones that stand out for me are:
- Hans Lengerer's article about the reconstruction of the Japanese battlefleet ... because it covers the Fuso, my favourite Japanese battleship.
- Enrico Cernuschi's article about the Italian aircraft carrier Falco/Sparviero ... because I once saw a model of what she might have looked like.
- Ian Sturton's article about the French attack on the Paknam Forts that were situated on the Chao Phraya river in Siam ... a little-known colonial battle.
- Tom Wismann's illustrated article about the Danish Coastal Defence Ship Skjold.
