This review is from: Combat Fleets of the World 2000-2001: Their Ships, Aircraft, and Systems (Hardcover)
Very comprehensive, though some of the descriptions are quite short; the major ships are covered well but some of the smaller ones are not, although it is likely that that information is not available. Overall, a recommended purchase if you are interested in this field, though I would purchase the newer version.

Review For 2000-2001 Combat Fleets of The World,
By
This review is from: Combat Fleets of the World 2000-2001: Their Ships, Aircraft, and Systems (Hardcover)
In general, it is a good book. It is a cheaper alternative to Jane's Fighting Ships, a good guide for warships but at $530 a copy very expensive. In addition to being a catalog of warships for each of the navies of the world, this book also talks about in depth about the weapons, electronic systems, and aircrafts that each of the world's navies uses. This is also an advantage that this book has over Jane's Fighting Ships since Jane's mostly focus on the warships and briefly on the weapons, electronic systems, and aircrafts for the world's navies. This book also has an addedum section for each of the world's navies, something Jane's Fighting Ships does not have. However, there is no color photographs in this book, only black and white photographs. Some of the description of the warships are a little too brief; some don't even have a schematic for them. Overall, I would recommend this book with the above mentioned reservation.
