Founded in 1978, the International R/C Warship Combat Club, Inc. (IRCWCC) is the original organization dedicated exclusively to promoting safety, good sportsmanship and fun in the hobby of radio controlled semi-scale model warship competition. Battery operated 1/144 scale models of warships which operated between 1904 and 1946 are constructed by members. They are equipped with CO2 gas powered “cannons” and maneuver in mock battles as they attempt to damage or sink their opponents.

CURRENT CLUB NEWS!
June 19 2026: IRCCWCC 2026 ANNUAL COMPETITION!
The club's week-long annual competition returned to Statesboro, GA this year. It's a great time to see (and battle against) friends in the hobby from farther away that you otherwise don't get to see at regular regional events. It was an exciting week, with the scores close thoughout the week, but in the end "Orange Fleet" lead by Admiral Lou Meszaros of the HMS Malaya claimed victory!

Of course, a highlight this year was the accidental recovery of the USS Cleveland that sank deep FIVE YEARS EARLIER!
