Now firmly established as an authoritative but affordable summary of all that has happened in the naval world in the previous twelve months, this annual combines regional surveys with one-off major articles on noteworthy new ships and other important developments.

Features of this edition include an analysis of the Republic of Korea Navy and the response to its aggressive northern neighbor. The Significant Ships section will cover the U.S. Navy's revamped Arleigh Burke-class destroyer design, German F125 class frigates, and New Zealand's Otago-class offshore patrol vessels.

The World Naval Review is intended to provide an authoritative reference. For anyone with an interest in contemporary naval affairs, whether an enthusiast or a defense professional, this annual has become required reading.
