Modern Naval Combat Rules
Ruckdog:
I've been thinking about putting together a small collection of modern naval vessels for gaming purposes...other than Harpoon, of course, does anyone know of a good modern naval combat rules system?
whenimaginationfails:
There is Shipwreck - Rules for sale and Discussion Group on Yahoo Groups.
Victor:
Have you tried out www.naval-war.com?
Kilrain:
Sorry for the dead post bump, but us Harpoon still the best rule set for modern naval combat?
Ruckdog:
Lol no worries, though I'd prefer if you start a new thread next time. They're free! ;)
Anyway, it depends on what you mean by "best." If you are looking for a detailed, crunchy, simulation-like experience, then Harpoon is still the gold standard I think. Harpoon V just released, and you can get a free fast-play document that demos the mechanics over on Wargame Vault.

However, if you are looking for something "lighter" - that is, less detailed and "accurate," but faster and eaiser to play, then there are plenty of options. One I particularly enjoy is called Naval Command, by Rory Crabb:
