5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive guide to the world's navies!, March 3, 2008

This review is from: Jane's Fighting Ships 2006-2007 (Hardcover)

Jane's is the definitive commercial guide to the world's navies. You won't find anything more comprehensive or informative available commercially. It includes photos and drawings of the world's major combat ships as well as providing remarkably accurate details regarding shipboard systems and capabilities. Just about every US Navy ship keeps a copy of Jane's available for reference. Of course for the price it had better be good.
