Review
Fans of maritime history and of Tom Clancy novels will find Norman Friedman's compendium of the latest naval technology to be a highly useful reference work. Organized in large sections that incorporate subjects like "airborne sensors," "torpedoes," and "minehunting sonars," Friedman's book takes an up-to-the-minute inventory of the world's seaborne arsenal. The book is expensive, but it carries a lot of value for the price, with more than 800 closely set pages and more than 1,200 illustrations.
