3.0 out of 5 stars I am relieved it has arrived and not dissappointed, 15 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Warship 2000-2001 (Hardcover)
This years Warship annual conitnues ever much as before. Not as good as the long awaited 1999-2000 edition (which will be hard to surpass) but of the usual high standard anyway. There is a notable 20th century bias to this years annual, among which the paper on U-Boats is of immediate interest. The Editors review of the years naval events is all inclusive once again, and his short piece on the Kursk tragedy is worthy of mention. The Notes section is rather good this year, covered many diverse aspects of our interest from wargaming to the internet to theme parks and to what the Naval Annual was doing 100 years ago.

Lets not have to wait so long for the 2001-2002 annual.

As usual this annual contains a host of detailed articles about naval ships and warfare. A must for anyone with a serious interest in the subject.
