The 30th anniversary edition of this survey on the world's warships features commentary from military experts from around the world on design, development and service history. Jordan, who has published two books on the Soviet navy, had edited this volume to include firsthand observations on such noted warships as Hôshô, the first aircraft carrier of the Imperial Japanese Navy, and the Soviet Project 7/7U destroyers used during World War II. Naval military buffs will enjoy the detailed photographs, plans and tables that provide plenty of information on these historical vessels. (Annotation ©2008 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
