Regular contributors to Fightin' Navy included penciler Bill Molno and inker Vince Alascia, both of whom worked on the book during nearly all of its run.

Other notable contributors included the Charlton regulars Ken Battefield, Sam Glanzman, Joe Gill, Dick Giordano, Rocke Mastroserio, Charles Nicholas, and Tony Tallarico.

Nearly twenty years later, in August 1983, Charlton briefly revived Fightin' Navy, publishing reprints from previous issues as well as the former Charlton titles Navy War Heroes and Submarine Attack, in issues #126–133.

Finally, in October 1984, as the entire Charlton line ceased publishing,[1] Fightin' Navy was cancelled.

Almost all of the stories in Fightin' Navy take place during World War II, telling tales of American ships battling the Japanese and the Germans.
