摘要

This edition of "Combat Fleets" is the first in six years, and maintains its high standard of research as the best one-volume reference book on the navies, coast guards and customs services of more than 170 nations and territories. The entries fully cover warships, auxiliary ships, boats and craft and their characteristics, with additional information on personnel strengths, bases, aircraft, weapons and sensors. The book is illustrated with more than 4,000 photos and multi-view line drawings. Given the volume of information, readers will be helped by a ship index and list of terms and abbreviations. The chapter on the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy has been expanded in recognition of that service's technological advances and growth.
