Since the days of the Ancient Greeks, naval ships of all sizes have revolutionized warfare.

The Ship Spotter's Guide provides essential information on 40 iconic ships, using detailed profile artwork to illustrate and aid recognition, as well as specification boxes to provide all the technical details.
