Plate 01 — Introduction
REF: BF-GEN-001Battle Fleet: naval warfare, military hardware and Battleship wargames
A reference on the ships, submarines, tanks and aircraft of the twentieth century and the engagements they fought in, from Jutland in 1916 to the carrier battles of the Pacific and the Cold War at sea.
During World War II, many sailors, including Canadians serving overseas, spent long stretches at sea with little more than the horizon for company. When they finally reached port, informal games of cards and gambling were common among the crew. Simple ways to pass the time and unwind after tense battles. Those traditions of chance and camaraderie live on today in modern entertainment trends like those who play at safe Canadian online casinos. If you're interested in how modern players can access these options responsibly, you can check out this recent National Post article for more information.
