This authoritative volume presents comprehensive technical data, specifications, and photography covering warships from every major and minor naval power of the era, from aircraft carriers and battleships to submarines and destroyers. Compiled with the rigorous detail that has made the Jane's series the gold standard for naval intelligence since 1898, this edition captures the global fleet compositions just as the Cold War began reshaping maritime strategy and the Korean War placed new demands on allied naval forces. An indispensable resource for naval historians, military enthusiasts, and researchers, it illustrates the transition of the world's navies from wartime configurations into the jet age and the early nuclear era.
