Scuttlebutt

The Seaforth World Naval Review fulfils an important function in faithfully presenting a genuinely worldwide perspective on the subject. Long may it continue to do so.

Warships 2013

This World Naval Review, first published in 2009, goes from strength to strength. As stated in previous reviews in ‘Scuttlebutt’ Seaforth’s World Naval Review is the ideal companion piece to the standard international reference work Jane’s Fighting Ships and is considerably cheaper. For the busy person who does not have time to plough through the mass of data in Jane’s, and make their own analysis, this fourth edition with its selective, executive style overview, does it for them. The review is gaining in reputation with an expanding readership and it is now being co-published with the US Naval Institute Press. The 2013 edition, edited by Conrad Waters and written by an impressive group of international contributors, including Norman Friedman and David Hobbs is again divided into World Fleet Reviews, Significant Ships and Technological Reviews. Again the book is laid out to Seaforth’s high standard and has many data tables and clear summary boxes. This review is a must for those wishing to keep up with world naval affairs.

Scuttlebutt

Waters has the ability to compact a great deal of analysis into a small space. The World Naval Review possesses significant strengths. It provides a high level of basic fleet composition across the world. More significantly, it provides a critical essay on all major navies, their strengths, weaknesses and challenges, new developments and an assessment as to operational effectiveness. I would recommened aquiring the World Naval Review annually, as it provides analysis, context and is well written, illustrated and relevant.

The Northern Mariner

The 2013 edition of the Seaforth World Naval Review includes four articles on significant ships, respectively; French Navy, US Coast Guard, German Navy and Indian Navy. The reviews and articles are insightful and increasing coverage is being given to unmanned and autonomous vehicles.
