Fantastic book for the size and price

Fantastic directory! I have many naval books (about 200) and this is the first one that covers 141 years and I can take with me where ever I go! Imagine doing this with Conway's All the Worlds Fighting Ships (this is a 4 book series covering the same period, and big books at that).It doesn't cover every ship of the period but for its size and price its superb! As for the missing classes Mr. Corwin notes, I agree but its O.K., except for one, the Talwar class entered service in 2003, the book was published in 2001. In mine oppinion there is only one serious mistake: the Hydra class where battleships not cruisers, I know I am Greek!
