Navy News is the official magazine of the South African Navy and is a 48 page, glossy A4 colour magazine. We publish six editions a year. As Chief of the Navy's official mouthpiece we address issues of primary interest to the serving members who receive the magazine as part of the benefits of their Navy Fund membership as well as keeping other interested parties in the wider Maritime Industry and Public Sector informed about developments in the Navy. We also keep retired members and our private subscribers in touch with the vibrant and colourful world of the SA Navy.

Started in June 1966 and running for a while as a 10-page black & white newspaper, Navy News re-emerged in its current A4 format in 1982. In 1997 Navy News graduated from the old cut and paste proofing and layout method and was laid out from start to finish in-house on computer for the first time. Since then, the magazine has progressed in leaps and bounds, providing a glossy colour window on the ever-changing face of the Navy the People Need. Navy News has earned itself something of an elevated reputation among similar magazines internationally and as the top naval magazine in Southern Africa.

The production and mailing costs of Navy News Magazine are carried entirely by the subscription and advertising revenues raised.

Navy News is a 48 page glossy A4 colour mag with a calendar at the end of the year.
