About the game
This collection of the SEEKRIEG 5 ship logs, originally released on CD in two separate sets, represents the majority of the vessels comprising the navies of Great Britain and Commonwealth Nations of Canada, Australia and New Zealand during the years 1880 to 1945. It contains all the ship logs from both sets and includes over 3,300 individual ship logs. Any corrections made to the original release are included in this set of files (including all corrections released in the 2/18/2009 CD version and subsequent corrections through 2019). Wherever possible, planned warships, conversions and never completed vessels are also included and based on available information. In most instances, one or more logs are provided for individual ships within a particular class. Major refits or other modifications significantly affecting the fighting capability of a ship are reflected in the multiple logs available for some ships, however, details regarding individual modifications to some of the smaller vessels (torpedo boats, submarines, gunboats and MTBs) are not generally available so a single ship log is provided to serve for the entire class. —description from the publisher
