2.0 out of 5 stars
An uninspired look at small craft with a big punch.,
By Ned Middleton (British professional underwater photo-journalist & author) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Small Craft Navies (Hardcover)
At first glance, the title of this book suggests it is a look at the navies of the world's smaller nations - but not so. It is a look at all smaller naval craft from throughout the world. The vessels are listed in alphabetical order by Type next to which is a note of the country or countries which operate that specific vessel.
Too many "?" symbols (i.e. missing details) against the specifications for my liking and the book would be greatly improved by more photographs. Measuring 10 x 7½ in (25 x 19 cm) and containing 160 pages, this book is over-priced at £20 in the UK. NM

5.0 out of 5 stars
A good description of a widely used type of warship,
This review is from: Small Craft Navies (Hardcover)
I found this book a useful reference on a type of warship used by most navies today. The book itself has an excellent analysis of the wide variety of ships in this class and also of their operational use. Of particular interest is the description of operations by Israeli and of Indian small craft in recent wars. There is also a section describing all types currently in use and the book is well illustrated with black and white photos and line drawings. It is a shame that this book is out of print and perhaps publishing an updated edition would not be a bad idea.
