International R/C Warship Combat Club
The IRCWCC is the oldest R/C warship combat organization that I know of. There ships a very lightly armed when compared to Big Guns ships but fight fast and furious. Big Gunners often call this style of ship 'Fast Guns' or 'Small Guns'. However, the spirit is the same and a lot can be learned from these guys.

This organization is a spin off of the IRCWCC. This is the other major 'Fast Guns' organization in North America.
