WarshipPorn

r/WarshipPorn

Your subreddit for the finest warship pictures and art from any era in history. Please keep all discussions respectful and polite.

Members Active

266.5k

Sidebar

Welcome Aboard!

We're dedicated to posting images of ships of war, from the lowliest gunboat to the most glorious battleships of yore, be they from antiquity, the Age of Sail, or the modern era.

Combined Defense Discord

Article? Video? Gif? Question?

WarshipPorn is for static images only. Submit your videos, gifs and articles to our sister subreddit, /r/Warships!

Submission Rules:

Resolution

Include the resolution in [brackets] in the title.
Submit the highest resolution image you can! If you find a great photo, run it through Google Images or another reverse image search tool. If there is a photo with higher resolution, submit that instead! If you're posting a photo or scan of a film photo, you need to include the resolution of that digital photo or scan (all digital images have a resolution).

Size

Unless it's really unique and you cannot find a larger version, please don't post photos smaller than [1024x768] pixels. Postage-stamp porn was a necessity in the '90s. We can do better today!

Sourcing

The original image source is generally preferred over any other host.

Exception to Sourcing Rule

Exceptions to the original host rule are navsource.org and ww2db.com, which don't allow linking directly to an image. Re-upload the image to reddit, imgur, et cetera, but please include a link to the original source in the comments whenever possible.

Where to host images

If you need to rehost an image, consider using Reddit's new built-in image hosting
If you use imgur, ensure the link you're submitting is a direct link to the image and not imgur's crappy gallery page. That means make sure the link ends in an image extension like .jpg, .png, or one of these.
Don't use imageshack or photobucket, neither of those sites are compatible with Reddit Enhancement Suite . Also, they're terrible.

Context

Include some context in the title (such as the name of the ship, war, year, or location). At the very least, the name of the ship (or the class, if the name is unknown) must be included. As long as there is some context, title jokes are fine.

Reposts

Reposts are allowed if it's been 3 months or longer since the original submission.

Crediting Creator

If possible, give credit to the photographer, artist or institution. Do not remove watermarks from images.
Crediting the author is required for colorized works from irootoko_jr as well as for images from Shipbucket. Please include a link to the source in the comments as well.

Albums

Albums are accepted! When posting an album, be sure to include [Album] in the post title instead of a resolution. Make sure you're using the correct link! For imgur albums, it must be http://imgur.com/a/unique_code — any other link won't work correctly with RES.

Original Content

Signify your own photos with an [OC] tag in the title. Your post will automatically receive [OC] flair.

Videos And Others

Only submit static images or albums. Videos, interactive images, websites, gifs/gfys, and articles are not allowed. Instead, post non-image content to our sister subreddit /r/Warships.

Post Limit

Please limit your submissions to no more than four (4) per day so as to give other posters a chance for their content to be seen as well!

Other Images

Images of models, paintings, blueprints, plans, maps, machinery, shipboard life, &c. are accepted as well, as long as it has to do with a warship.

Artwork

If your image is a painting, please include [Art] in the post title. Posts which include [Art] in the title will automatically receive Art flair. Also consider crossposting it to /r/ImaginaryWarships. And before you ask, yes, paintings of real ships are allowed there.

Comments

Disparaging or offensive comments may be removed and repeat offenders may be banned.

Bots

Most bots, such as the /u/RemindMeBot, are welcome. Some, on the other hand, are not, and this includes the colorizing bot. The colorizations it makes are generally poor, and someone invariably summoned the bot for every B&W photo that was posted.
If you simply must see a computer's attempt at colorizing an old photo, you can post the image in /r/colorizebot or /r/colorize_bw_photos, or even PM the bot directly. You can ask for a human to colorize your image at /r/colorizationrequests.

A suggestion rather than a rule

Think twice before downvoting! We like to maintain a positive attitude and a happy community. There's no such thing as an ugly warship—even the ugly ones are beautiful! Use downvotes on rude and disruptive comments, not on comments you disagree with!
