Sorry about the shameless horn-tooting, but my review of the 2006 Naval Institute Guide to World Naval Weapon Systems has finally been published! I'm just glad to get it behind me. Trying to condense my thoughts on such a huge book into a 2,000 word review was a bit of a chore, but I managed. Now I just need to get back to my usual routine. Some nice non-reference books. Books that are 400 pages or less. What a relief! :sunny:

I would love to get this book but my wife would shoot me.

A nit. That the Shipwreck is some kinda uber UCAV rather than a missile has been known for quite a while, since JED's "Carrier Killers" (2002). It even has a jammer as I understand it.

Anyway, same here - I'd get shot for buying it. Is there some kind of payment plan where I can squeeze US$25/month for ten months or something? (Its the same money, but it looks a lot less objectionable).

Excellent review Subnuts!

BTW, I have the 1991/2 edition of the book.
