Does anyone have access to Jane's Fighting Ships?

I'm trying to find info on Indonesia's navy. Nothing too in depth - basically the types and names of surface combatants and when they were commissioned. The more modern the better - nothing older than 2003 will help me.

If someone can scan some excerpts for me it would be appreciated. Wikipedia has what I need and it cites JFS, but, well, it's Wikipedia. I dunno if my school has a license but I might ask around next week.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried Hazy Gray, FAS, Global Security, or world warships?

Haze Gray and GlobalSecurity are out of date and FAS has nothing. WorldWarships on the other hand seems to have a pretty comprehensive list and is a resource I never knew about! Thank you JALU3

Fatty, old writing partner, how are you?

The Naval Institute Guide to Combat Fleets of the World (the main Jane´s antagonist) could be partly accesed online via Google books.

And luckily for you, the Indonesian Navy chapter (p. 307) is fully readable.

Perfect Mariano! Up to date as well with the new Sigma corvettes. Thanks so much.

I am not doing too badly. Another foot of snow today is making me wish it was June. I am working on a thesis project evaluating core conditions underlying maritime piracy and was looking for info on Indonesia's navy for a chapter on deterring pirates.

How have you been? I sent you an email a few months ago asking if you were interested in working together to prepare something on the San Luis to submit to Proceedings, but didn't hear from you. Hope all is well.

Wow, snow.

37º in here. The place is like an opened oven. "Luckily" for me, I spent all day inside an air conditioned office.

I don´t recall the mail you told me, but because is last year I was "invaded" by Lola, my baby daughter. And everything was a mess then.

Now, things more settled down, I´m writing an essay about ASW in the South Atlantic conflict, from the Argentine perspective. (I already interviewed many former Tracker / Sea King pilots, surface ships officers and NCOs, checked official and unnofficial sources, etc. - lot of work involved)

Anyway, is a pleasure to hear from you and know that you are fine.

And surely we can work together this year to submit something about naval warfare (San Luis or others!) to Proceedings or Naval History!

Please, and finally, could you sent me your thesis when finished (I enjoyed very much your previous works)?

Best Regards,
Mariano
