The warships of today are extremely complex constructions. The last forty years showed the significant changes and rapid technical development in such shipbuilding-related fields and propulsion, electrics and electronics, hydrodynamics, and many others, and all of these developments were applied in order to make each newly constructed vessel more effective in comparison with the predecessor.
The present publication is providing the readers with a representative sample of contemporary warships; it should be understood, however, that it is absolutely impossible to describe every single type of warship currently in use, in a single volume like this, because there are hundreds of types of warships and submarines in service. That is why some selection was made by the author of the volume to get to the manageable proportions.
The guide provides all necessary information about the warships including their technical specifications, armament, information on the shipyard where particular vessel was built, and some historical information about the service. This book is an excellent source of information for every fan of naval vessels and we highly recommend it to be placed in your collection.
