Category: Technology & Engineering , Military Science

There have been few times in modern naval history when the compositions of the fleets of the world have been so radically altered and without major conflict being the cause. Derived from unclassified publications and correspondence from around the world, this guide provides a basis for tracking not only new shipbuilding programs but also recent transfers of ships and technology. The text has been revised and reformatted, and some 80% of the photography is new to this edition. The guide presents the complete programs of all the world's navies, coast guards, ands paranaval forces. Naval vessels large and small, in service and under construction, are fully described, along with naval aircraft and weapons systems and sensors. 9.25x12.25" Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
