Synopsis:

This highly regarded annual volume provides an authoritative summary of all the developments in the world's navies and their ships in the previous twelve months. It combines regional surveys with major articles on important new warships, and looks at wider issues of significance to navies such as aviation and weaponry. The contributors come from around the globe and as well as providing a balanced picture of naval developments, they interpret their significance and explain their context. As well as its regular regional reviews, the 2026 volume focusses on two important fleets: the Russian Navy, and the Royal Navy. There are in-depth articles on three significant ships: the Indian aircraft carrier Vikrant, the Japanese Mogami class frigates and the Turkish Ada and Istanbul classes and their derivatives. The third regular section is devoted to reviews of important technological developments around the world. The naval aviation chapter focusses on the expansion of F35B operators and operations, while Norman Friedman discusses shipboard anti-submarine warfare. There is an extensive piece on the design and evolution of the US Navy RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile. Now firmly established as the only annual naval overview of its type in the world, The Seaforth World Naval Review is essential reading for professional and enthusiast alike. It takes the reader to the heart of contemporary naval affairs. **' … this is a marvellous asset for those wishing to keep up to date with naval matters. Very highly recommended.' Warship World**
