Being retired can be a hoot, especially when you get to catch live events on the Interwebs. Here's the USS New Jersey - The Navy's Big Guns, headed to drydock after 30 years in the drink. I got to tour the ship and meet the curator in 2022. Here's a few screen grabs of the move. Cheers!  BB62-2.thumb.jpg.9106a681aaafbde48315061be6a6e3c3.jpg

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
