The 2026 edition of Warship, the celebrated annual featuring original research on the history, development and service of the world's warships.

For nearly 50 years, Warship has been providing scholars and enthusiasts with new information on the history of the world's combat ships. Featuring a broad range of articles from a select panel of distinguished international contributors, Warship combines original research, new book reviews, warship notes, an image gallery and much more, maintaining the impressive standards of scholarship and research with which the annual has become synonymous. Detailed and accurate information is the hallmark of all the articles, which are fully supported by plans, data tables, and photographs, many previously unpublished.

This year's annual includes feature articles on the French 450-tonne destroyers of the early 20th century, the Soviet Novik-class destroyers, the Italian carrier Falco/Sparviero; a chronological account and assessment of Royal Navy carrier battle damage during World War II; a comparison of the US, British and Canadian escort naval construction programmes in the summer of 1942; and the next part of Warship's ground-breaking coverage of early German destroyers.

John Jordan is a former teacher of modern languages. He is the author of two major books on the Soviet Navy, and has coauthored a series on the French Navy, of which the most recent is French Armoured Cruisers 1887–1932 (2019) with Philippe Caresse. John is also the sole author of Warships After Washington; a sequel, Warships After London, was published in 2020. John has been associated with Warship from its earliest beginnings and took over the editorship in 2004.
