Seaforth World Naval Review 2017

This edition includes an in-depth analysis of the Royal Netherlands Navy, while the section on Significant Ships will cover the USN’s radical new Zumwalt-class destroyers, the Republic of Korea’s amphibious assault ship Dokdo, and the JMSDF’s Akizuki-class destroyers, among others. There are technological reviews on naval aviation by David Hobbs (with a focus on the present state of the Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm), while Norman Friedman surveys naval surface-to-surface missiles.

The Seaforth World Naval Review features specially commissioned drawings and the most up-to-date photographs and artists’ impressions. For those interested in contemporary naval affairs―whether enthusiast or defense professional―this annual has become required reading.
