5.0 out of 5 stars Essential AIB reading, 9 Oct 2003
By A Customer
For those of you out there preparing for your AIB (Admiralty Interview Board) this book is absolutly essential. All of the current fleet is included, along with the future ships of the RN. Everything to do with the RN fleet is included here with more detail than you could ever need. It contains more up to date, and detailed information than that found in the booklet given out by AFCO's. Still didn't get me in though...

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant and essential reading for AIB, 5 Dec 2007
By Mr. L. C. Vile - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I gave this book a 5* but 9/10 is probably more accurate. It is a very good guide to the current/immediate future RN fleet. It is ideal for someone gearing up for AIB, however it is not 100% comprehensive due to it being 4/5 years old.

It does mention the CVF/Astutes but only mentions some of the squadrons that use certain aircraft etc. It also covers Apaches as in use by the RN, even though the RN has none (they are flown by the RAF).

It does give you all the info required (such as weapon and other systems detail) and also has wonderful profile pictures and photo shots to familiarise yourself with. However one must also learn the uses, locations and characteristics of each ship, and not just the specifications (which is pretty much what this book focuses on).

Showed it to my AFCO and they recommended it, and it is a wonderfully easy book to pick up as a beginner. But it shouldn't be used for 100% of the service knowledge research.
