Revue de presse :

While a deeply specialist annual, dealing with obscure naval topics, that is essentially the point about this very high-spec compendium...its devoted readership are much like those who savour fine wine. They are prepared to pay the price for a standard of analysis and technical detail they will find nowhere else, at least not in such a compact, well designed and edited format. --Revviewed by Charles Strathdee for Warships International Fleet Review, July 2012 issue

Warship 2012 contains the usual eclectic mix of in-depth articles by respected experts. The standard of analysis and technical detail can be found nowhere else, at least not in such a compact, well designed and edited format. --International Fleet Review
