Description: New book, 160 pages, 100+ photos. This guide describes, type by type, over 150 of the world's major military vessels that stand prepared to protect the sovereignty of nations. Each section of this catalogue is introduced by a short account of the role of the type concerned, ranging from the aircraft carrier, the most complex of fighting machines known to man, to the relatively cheap fast-attack craft deployed on coastal patrols.
