Description

This up to date, 19th edition of The Naval Institute Guide to the Ships and Aircraft of the U.S. Fleet meets the high expectations and exacting standards of people who depend on this volume to stay informed and to make related policy, force level, technological and weapons decisions related to the U.S. Navy.

Packed with comprehensive information, up-to-date photographs, line drawings, and useful appendixes, this timely volume describes the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard all through a period of intensive transformation whilst engaged in combat operations.

In describing the Navy’s “ships and aircraft,” extensive coverage is given to the new littoral combat ships (LCS), joint high-speed vessels (JHSV), Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers, and other new ships in addition to developments in shipboard ballistic missile defense. On the same time, the convoluted path in surface combatant construction is “deciphered,” whilst the belated decision to cancel the Marine expeditionary fighting vehicle (EFV) is explained. Also addressed in detail is the new F-35 series Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) and other aviation programs. In a similar fashion addressed are Navy group of workers, Marine Corps issues, Coast Guard forces, marine mammals, unmanned underwater and aerial vehicles, and other aspects of U.S. naval forces.

Continuing the longstanding tradition as essentially the most complete resource of its kind, this up to date 19th edition meets the high expectations and exacting standards of people who depend on this volume to stay informed in the field.
