First published in 1979, this fifth edition, published seven years after the previous edition and again with Lieutenant Commander Lawrie Phillips as author, has been described by Admiral Sir Jonathon Band as 'An essential work of reference and of inspiration throughout the Fleet'. Phillips himself is a distinguished naval historian of long standing. The book itself now runs to some 850 pages, compared with the 390 of the first edition.
