520			_aCOVERAGE AND ARRANGEMENT: A survey of the world's naval forces and their ships, arranged alphabetically by country name. Each country entry gives variable details (as applicable) about naval forces including: headquarters appointments, flag officers, operational units, fleet home ports, naval attaches, bases, total numbers of personnel, strength of the fleet, details of fleet air squadrons, and pennant list. Details of countries fleets are then sub-arranged under ship type headings e.g. Corvettes, Destroyers etc. The most detail is given for major warship entries which include: number and class name; building programme - builders' names and key dates; hull - specification and performance parameters, and hull related details such as military lift, cargo capacity, dimensions and speed (a glossary explains the terminology); weapon systems; aircraft - types and numbers; and general comments such as whether ships listed in order of battle could more accurately be described as being in reserve. Minor or less important ship entries follow the same format, but with less detail. Photographs of craft are the most up to date available and most are in full colour. At the front of the book are sections on ensigns and flags of the world's navies (in colour); ranks and insignia of the world's navies (including Brunei); amd a list of pennants of major vessles. At the back of the book are indexes of vessel names and class names. See also 'Jane's All the World's Aircraft' for naval aircraft and 'Jane's Naval Weapon Systems'.
