The International Naval Research Organization is a non-profit organization
dedicated to the encouragement of the study of naval vessels and their histories,
principally in the era of iron and steel warships (about 1860 to date). Its purpose is
to provide information and a means of contact for those interested in warships.
The principal activity of INRO for the last 50 years has been the publication of a
quarterly journal, Warship International, recognized internationally as the leading
and most authoritative publication in the field. Auxiliary services include a Book
Service, offering a 10 per cent discount on current naval books, and the Photo
Service, which provides warship photos at a nominal price.
