About Bravo Zulu

Bravo Zulu is a research project dedicated to the history of the world's warships. We publish daily stories and in-depth articles covering everything from Civil War commerce raiders to Cold War nuclear tests.

The name comes from the NATO signal flag code "BZ" — meaning "well done." It's the highest compliment one ship can signal to another.

Each story starts with one fact that makes you stop and read the rest. Swipe through them on the Daily feed, then read the full articles when one grabs you.
