Stimulating articles, beautifully produced and published, yet again this series has delivered a wonderful collection which is also great fun to read. I look forward to Warship 2024!

One of the great if idiosyncratic pleasures of this long-running title is the fact that it is not really a single volume but a continuing contribution to the soundest and most detailed minutiae of modern naval history. Articles can be split over more than one volume while the editor and/or hugely varied range of contributors can pose questions and seek responses from readers. To all intents Warship is a reference work created over several decades to the very highest standards of accuracy and withwhat is in effect a degree of community engagement.

I have reviewed the Warship series for a number of years and they never disappoint. This latest edition is a fascinating eclectic mix of articles on subjects ranging from bizarre designs to modern weapons systems and current naval thinking. The editor John Jordan is to be congratulated on editing such a heady mix from authoritative contributors

The extent of the scholarship of the contributors to Warship 2023 is readily evident from the detail in the articles and the extensive endnotes. The book is also fully illustrated with clear line drawings, tables and black & white photographs.

The 2023 edition of the popular Warship series continues in the established tradition of its predecessors in offering detailed insights into comparatively under-researched aspects of naval development relevant to military historians and armchair enthusiasts of the post-sail era. In so doing it treads a careful critical line which pulls in innovations, technical details and broader geopolitical trends shaping naval development. Moreover, the relative diversity and accessibility of the content is matched by the quality of production, with the hardback version having a distinct 'coffee table' feel.
