Each entry gives details of the type of equipment, a technical description, its operational status and, in many cases, a history of the development of the equipment and its specifications, as well as a note of the main contractor.Appendices provide an inventory of submarine systems in service by country and NATO designations of Russian underwater warfare systems and equipment. Indexed by manufacturers' name; and by product and country of origin ER -
