About This Game
Rule the Waves III is a simulation of naval ship design and construction, fleet management and naval warfare from 1890 to 1970.
It will place you in the role of 'Grand Admiral' of a navy from the time when steam and iron dominated warship design up to the missile age.

You will guide your navy's deployment, construction and operations during a period of great technological innovation and political tensions.
