Summary: Good overview of change from sail to steam; weak post WW2.
Comment: A strong review of the late 19th transition from sail to steam, with lucid insights into the effect of both world politics and Alfred T. Mahan on the construction of modern navies. The book is chock full of the gorgeous drawings and photos we expect of Jane's.

The chapters post WW2 are somewhat cursory and disappointing. It would have been appropriate to include a chapter speculating on the future of fighting ships into the next century.
