EDITED BY JOHN JORDAN
Here’s the yearly guide to the latest research on the history and deployment of warships around the world. As such, it consists of a number of magazine-style features, covering everything from the 1927 Soviet Flotilla Leaders to Modern European Frigates. There’s certainly a Pacific flavour with a look at the Yokosuka Navy Yard and the Imperial Japanese Navy carriers Soryu and Hiryu, and Australian Bathhurst-class minesweeper corvettes. The features are all written in expert style, with photos, illustrations and tables to back up the text. There’s even a WWII naval operation story with Operation Tunnel. For those interested in the history and development of world navies, it’s an annual treat with high production standards.
