Containing full-colour artworks and action photographs, "Warships Today" is a comprehensive guide to the naval vessels that are now in service around the world, from the latest American aircraft carriers to the second-hand destroyers of the South American navies. The book begins with a series of articles on warfighting at sea today before discussing each type of warship in turn, including carriers, cruisers, destroyers, submarines, minesweepers, patrol craft and supply ships, allowing the reader to compare similar vessels in service with different nations.
