Seaforth World Naval Review 2013 Kindle Edition

by Conrad Waters (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 20 ratings
See all formats and editions
“The 2013 edition . . . includes four articles on significant ships, respectively; French Navy, US Coast Guard, German Navy and Indian Navy.”—Firetrench Reviews
 
Launched in 2009, this annual has rapidly established a reputation as an authoritative but affordable summary of all that has happened in the naval world in the previous twelve months. It combines the standing features of regional surveys with one-off major articles on noteworthy new ships and other important developments. Besides the latest warship projects, it also looks at wider issues of importance to navies, such as aviation and electronics, and calls on expertise from around the globe to give a balanced picture of what is going on and to interpret its significance.
 
Special features for the 2013 edition include in-depth studies of the navies of Italy and Ireland, plus analyses of significant new warship classes: the French Aquitaine class frigates, Indian Shivalik class Project 17 frigates, German Braunschweig class corvettes, and US Bertholf class national security cutters.
 
Intended to make interesting reading as well as providing authoritative reference, there is a strong visual emphasis, including specially commissioned drawings and the most recently released photographs and artists’ impressions.
 
This annual has become “a must for those wishing to keep up with world naval affairs” (Scuttlebutt).

If you are interested in modern naval technology, these are really a best buy. You pay a small fraction of what Janes cost and get great info. I have each year (from 2010 I believe). 5 stars

3.0 out of 5 stars Seaforth naval review 2013
Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2013

I have mixed feelings about the book. It was very well written however didn't really go as in depth into its analysis about the various naval force structure of the world's navies. Perhaps I was expecting too much for the amount that I paid. Wasn't as specific about the nation's vessel compositions mainly relying on brief generalizations such as vessel classifications rather than ship types.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ein kleine Jane's aber ein feines...
Reviewed in Germany on August 5, 2014
Verified Purchase
Da ich nicht mehr an die aktuelle Ausgabe von Jane's Fighting Ships kam (der Preis ist unverschämt), habe ich mich nach Alternativen umgeschaut und siehe da es gibt sie tatsächlich.
WNR ist eine sehr gute Alternative. Es werden zwar nicht alle kleinen Kutter mit einem MG3 auf der Welt beschrieben, aber die wichtigtsen Nayeinheiten weltweit vorgestellt.
Sehr gut ist auch die Aktualität des Buches, neue Konzepte oder kurz vor der Auslieferung stehende Einheiten werden ebenfalls beschrieben.
Aber das beste ist der letzte Teil. Dieser ist immer neuen technischen Trends gewidment oder umfasst einen Einzelaspekt im Detail.
Sehr gut gemacht.
Kann die ganze Reihe uneingeschränkt empfehlen und für das Geld eine Jane's kauft man sich 20 dieser Bücher.

5.0 out of 5 stars Engine room, flank speed!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 20, 2013

This book is one of those rare examples where quality supercedes quantity. The articles are exceptionally well written and accompanied by up-to-date, relevant photographs which provide the naval enthusiast with pretty much all the detail they need about ships and world navies. The ship spotlight features are particularly good and give a brilliant insight into the workings and the ethos behind a particular vessel. Definitely worth a purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Uebersichtsbericht in Englisch mit Vorstellung besonderer Schiffe
Reviewed in Germany on January 13, 2014
Verified Purchase
Das Warten auf den Weyer war mir einfach zu lang! Das Konzept dieses Buches ist aber ein ganz anderes. Nach Regionen eingeteilt werden die einzelnen Navys kurz vorgestellt, mit den letzten Entwicklungen in Gliederung, Schiffszahl, -klassen etc. . So faellt die Bundesmarine kaum auf. Allerdings gibt es dann noch Beitraege zu neuen Schiffsklassen. Und hier ist Deutschland mit der K 130 dabei. Tabellen mit der Schiffsanzahl der wichtigsten Navys der jeweiligen Region runden das Bild ab.

Mit Schulenglisch kann man sich das Buch gerade noch erschliessen. Wenn man allerdings die Materie und die Termini kennt ist man besser dran bzw. erraet den Rest, falls man im Englischen nicht so firm ist.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 12, 2013

Having picked up the 2010 edition in a remaindered bookshop in November I was sufficiently impressed to buy this as a Christmas gift for a family member. I have only given it 4 stars because apart from briefly looking through it I did not read it, but they seem to keep up to date with naval developments around the world very well. It is not Janes but for 5% of the cost of Janes how could it be.
