All,
Navy News is the 'unofficial' newspaper of the Royal Navy. it's not
published by the RN, but the two organisations work closely together. It
tends to get sold mostly on the south coast, but it covers all aspects
of Royal Naval deployments etc, and has done for 50 years. It's a
fantastic source for naval articles - and now they're digitising all
their past copies and making them freely accessible.
You can see the oldest at
http://navynews.co.uk/digital-edition/archive?date=-491878800, and an
example copy at

To quote them, /"Our technical genius Trevor has now scanned in all our
1954 editions - back when we were simply Portsmouth Navy News (some
readers complain we still are...). Trev's now working on 1982 issues to
mark the 30th anniversary of the Falklands."/
