This issue of warship introduces the first part of the text of Also Fraccaroli's description of the Littorio class battleships; much of the information has not been published in English before. Norman Friedman sheds new light on the origin of the Lexington and Saratoga, showing that they would have been built along similar lines even if two battlecruiser hulls had not been available for conversion. Warship is a long-running yearly publication covering the design, development, and service history of combat ships. It is published by Conway Publishing in the United Kingdom and the United States Naval Institute Press in North America. Warship began as a quarterly magazine, which, according to The Dreadnought Project, published "historical and technical essays of incredible value and merit to students of fighting ships". The first issue, edited by Anthony Preston, was published in January 1977; featured articles included "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, under the editorship of Robert Gardiner. Under this new format, The Dreadnought Project notes, "it remains the "periodical" that deserves a space on your reference bookshelf long after it has been read the first time." Since 2004, Warship is edited by John Jordan. Each annual issue comprises articles by retired naval officers, marine architects, and maritime experts spanning the globe. In 2003, Sea Power wrote "This first-class compendium of articles on the world's warships has something of interest for virtually every reader". In 2009 Conway Publishing set up a web presence to support the magazine, featuring a gallery, a content index, articles from past editions, and ship plans.
