Naval Institute Guide to World Naval Weapon Systems 15 Ed. by Norman Friedman - VF145 .F85

“Long recognized as the most comprehensive reference work available on the subject, this guide remains the only complete reference to the weapons currently in service in ships, submarines, and naval aircraft around the world. It is the only book of its type to explain the transformation of the U.S. Navy into a network-centric force, a transformation that has had immense consequences for choices of tactics, weapons, services, and the systems coordinating them. This guide also offers unparalleled coverage of the weapons, sensors, and command systems of the world’s navies, both those the U.S. Navy works with and those it may have to fight.” - Editorial Reviews
