Hey guys, its me again. I was wondering (as it closes to my birthday) that are there books out there that act like a encyclopedia of naval ships for the great wars? Destroyers + beyond for the entire world? thanks
Jane's is the obvious one, there are also some non English naval almanacs like "Flottes de Combat" , "Almanacco navale" and a german one I don't remember the name of, you may get a lot cheaper than Jane, that is usually very expensive, if you come across them.
Gotta agree with above posts. Jane's does a good job. You can probably find reprints of WWII version at an online bookstore or on ebay. I don't see too many of the WWI version about.
Fleets Of World War II By Richard Worth http://www.amazon.com/Fleets-World-...=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1224163766&sr=1-3
yes agreed Janes is hard to beat, unless you go with specific countries "named" vessels which there are many publications from many authors and distributors
Also this for WWI http://www.amazon.com/Conways-All-Worlds-Fighting-Ships/dp/0870219073/ref=reg_hu-wl_list-recs
