Format is approximately 8 inches by 11 inches. 176 pages. Illustrations. Captain John Evelyn Moore (11 November 1921 - 8 July 2010) was a submariner in the Royal Navy, a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and after retirement from the Royal Navy the author for 15 years of the authoritative naval publication Jane's Fighting Ships. While in command of the Seventh Submarine Division in Singapore in the mid-60s during the period of confrontation between Malaysia and Indonesia he carried out experiments with the Special Boat Service (SBS) of the Royal Marines Commandos. Moore designed a device which he named 'Trongle' that allowed submariners to locate their vessel in the hours of darkness, revolutionizing the way the SBS operated. On retirement from the Royal Navy in 1973 Moore became editor of the authoritative Jane's Fighting Ships, which he did for the fifteen years until 1988, expanding the number of countries whose navies were described in detail from 108 to 152. This annual review includes the chapter "AEGIS shoots down its critics" by Adm James D. Watkins USN. Other topics covered include: Naval Aviation, Aircraft Carriers, Submarine Propulsion, Nuclear Navy, Amphibious Fleet, Torpedoes, Electronic Warfare, Anti-Mine, Hovercraft, NATO, Ready Reserve Force, Canadian Arctic, and Terrorism.
