This is the book. Ideal for defense enthusiasts, analysts, historians and academic researchers, this volume has very hard to find data and info about virtually everything the U.S. Navy can float, submerge, haul, shoot, or fly.Frankly in most countries the material here would be restricted, and in fact there is warning in the inside cover that states that; this is to be "sold in the United States, Canada and American possessions only".A new edition comes out about 3 times per decade and includes everything but the latest, still classified, U.S. military hardware.STILL HERE -- OKAY THERE'S MORE:If you save the older issues, you will have a rather comprehensive chronicle of the nuts and bolts of the U.S. Navy - real interesting stuff. For instance, if you go back to say the thirteenth edition, you can find a full description of the Iowa Class Battleships and the compositions of a variety of their 16" projectiles. Want to know about the jets used in the Vietnam War? Look at the 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th editions, and you'll find cool aircraft and helicopters as well as Crusiers that still fired artillery. Would you like to see and read about the add-on, stand-off weapons from the Gulf-War era. You'll find them in editions 13-16 listed under "WEAPONS SYSTEMS". How fast or far do our missles fly? How large a warhead do they carry and what type of guidance system do they use are all included for countless systems in each and every volume of this text.BOTTOM LINE: If this type of stuff is interesting too you, this text can take the place of counting sheep at night, as it does for me.The good news is that NOTHING IN THIS TEXT IS STILL CLASSIFIED SO YOU CAN READ THESE VOLUMES TO YOUR HEARTS CONTENT - JUST DON'T MAIL THEM OUT OF THE COUNTRY. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2023* Great resource. Everything you need to know about the navy. Organization, ships, weapons, etc. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Ships and Aircraft of the U.S. Fleet - A taxpayer guide and wake up call to monitor Congress and the President's budget policies *by T***H on Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2015* Love this book. Waited a long time for the new edition to come out and drop in price before I bought it, but I am glad I did. If you want to know what your government is doing with the U.S. Navy, it is a good source for information. I have not read the entire book yet as I just received it about a month ago, but I already see Congress and the U.S. Navy are making incorrect decisions about weapons systems.I favor a mix of both non nuclear and nuclear powered aircraft carriers and submarines. I am not sold on the littoral combat ships, and I think we need more ships and plans at a reasonable cost instead of what the air force and navy are paying for current ships and planes. Finally I am not sold on a separate air force either. The air force should be used to support the army and provide for a continental and space based defense. The navy should be used in injunction with the naval forces to project american power abroad when terrorism, piracy, or instability threatens american lives or property or interests abroad, or certain nation states threaten American interests or allies abroad. We should devise a military to achieve that particular objective, especially when diplomacy fails or intelligence is missing or lacking. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/6605002-the-naval-institute-guide-to-ships-and-aircraft-of-u](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/6605002-the-naval-institute-guide-to-ships-and-aircraft-of-u) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
