Tone's Fighting Ships is a website devoted to providing a source of reference for the capital ships of the Dreadnought era (which we define as being loosely 1890-1920 because we're such mavericks), as well as general information about the navies themselves; who led them, how they were administered.

The name of the website is derived from the nickname of the Webmaster, Tony Lovell in thankful homage to Janes Publishing, an edition of whose "Fighting Ships" was vital in fueling his interest in the subject. Simon Harley has edited this Wiki, and been instrumental in creating a strong pattern of excellence we hope will prove inviting to well-informed contributors and readers who desire detailed information.
