Launching in January 2017, the Navy General Board website was founded with the purpose of exposing people to the many interesting topics of naval history from across the World. Since then, the Navy General Board website has worked to be a place where everyone, from the experienced historian to an interested reader, can learn something new. The website prides itself on being open to new ideas and theories from anyone. In the short time that the website has been around, it has expanded considerably, with new articles and news articles being added on a regular basis. The Navy General Board website will continue to grow bigger and better as time goes on. We welcome anyone to join us on this journey.

Excellent page. Such well researched stories and articles. Amazing photos’. No political crap comments tolerated. This is the best navy page, so far.

FaceBook Review

I find the naval ship historical articles very well researched with insights and detail as not found in similar published works. I routinely share this newly discovered resource with shipmates in social gatherings and find that reading NGB articles truly enriches and enlivens discussions at such gatherings. Thank you again for the great work you do.
Website Review

Having served in the infantry, I didn’t know much about the Navy. But I have always been fascinated by the tactics and cunning of sea battle and how science and technology permitted ship to fire Volkswagen size shell 39+ miles always accurately. That’s why I am here. To learn more

FaceBook Review

It’s really quite general and not limited in scope to particular type of ship or time period. More informative and less opinionated.
