Introduction

I like maps, find they are essential to following naval and military campaigns and battles - preferably with all places in the text shown on the accompanying map, but maps relevant to my naval interests are often difficult to find. This particularly applies to sea and coast locations. Over the years I have enjoyed preparing a variety of maps for use with www.naval-history.net and hope some of them may be of interest and use to visitors.

Thumbnails of the main World War 2 and Falkland's War maps follow.  Note that their actual sizes will vary. You are welcome to download, use and modify them plus the Compass Rose above. In return, please acknowledge www.naval-history.net - thank you.
