Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Internationally acknowledged as the best one-volume reference to the world s naval and paranaval forces, this popular Naval Institute guide is both comprehensive and affordable. Updated biennially since 1976, it has come to be relied on for all-inclusive, accurate, and up-to-date data on the ships, navies, coast guards, and naval aviation arms of more than 180 countries and territories. Large fleets and small maritime forces get equally thorough treatment as evidenced in this new edition, which highlights major and even minor developments that could have an impact on the world scene. A thorough indexing of material and a logical ship-typing system make the book easy to use and allow quick comparisons between fleets.
The guide continues to present timely, authoritative information supported by more than four thousand illustrations from correspondents throughout the world. From giant aircraft carriers and ballistic missile submarines to tugboats and launches, the characteristics and capabilities of ships large and small are reliably recorded. Complete descriptions of naval aircraft, weapons, weapon systems, and sensors are also provided along with useful commentary on organizations, personnel strength, and bases.

As many people think, Jane's Fighting Ships is just too expensive. Eric Wertheim's combat fleets is far cheaper and the quality is getting very near of Jane's. This particular guide of 2007-2008 is in my oppinion an improvement over last one. I wish they published this guide every year, waiting 2 years for the subsequent one is the only bad thing about this book.

It is as good as the Jane's that I remember from a few years ago but at a third of the price. So why spend more?
