Compiled from the pages of contemporary editions of Jane's, the world's most authoritative naval reference work, this extraordinary volume presents photographs, line drawings, and data tables, providing the reader with instant reference to the facts and figures of the great fleets that clashed at Leyte Gulf, Midway, Matapan, and the many other naval battles that took place on the oceans and seas around the world. The information and data are presented throughout in the exciting and graphic style that has made Jane's the ultimate naval reference. For this new edition, the book has been completely redesigned in a larger and easier-to-handle format, and the addenda and amendments of the original editions have been integrated into the text at the appropriate places. The material covered in the volume is more complete than in any previous edition or reprint of Jane's: ships that were lost during the war such as the Bismarck, Hood, Lexington, Enterprise, Ark Royal, and the mighty battleships Yamato and Musashi have been included, thus providing comprehensive information and illustrations for the ships of each fleet at its zenith, including the navies of Germany, Italy, and Japan. The basis of this volume was the first uncensored edition of Jane's to be published after the close of World War II. It therefore represents the best single reference book covering the war years, and includes the many warships launched or completed during the last months of hostilities, when the construction yards in the United States and Great Britain were still working at full speed. Antony Preston, internationally respected author on warships and naval history, has written a foreword which puts the book and its subject in historical perspective. Now, more than fifty years after the beginning of World War II, Jane's Fighting Ships provides an invaluable and fascinating guide to the fleets that fought in that global conflict.
