The British publication Warship (Conway Maritime Press, with some later editions also published by Naval Institute Press) began as a quarterly magazine in January 1977, edited by Antony Preston, and included such articles as "Washington's Cherrytrees: The Evolution of the British 1921-22 Capital Ships", by N.J.M. Campbell, and "British Destroyer Appearance in World War II: Fleet Destroyers 1939-42", by Alan Raven. The journal became an annual in 1989, edited by Robert Gardiner who wrote in the preface "After twelve years of quarterly publication Warship has been transformed into an annual ... principally a response to the readership."
