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.

Aug 30 2025: SAS Hosts first battle of the season!
Labor Day weekend our southern captains in the Southeast Attack Squadron kicked off the battle season with a three day "Labor Day Leadfest" battle weekend in Statesboro, Georgia. It was a great weekend of battles, with the formal launching of the new HMS "Inconceivable" (it's what Eric and Carl jokingly call their new Invincible-class battle cruiser) and plenty of sinks, a LOT of fun was had by all.
