Its purpose is to provide information and a means of contact for those interested in warships. The principal activity of INRO for the last 45 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. |
