Críticas:

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

Reseña del editor:

The latest volume of this highly acclaimed annual maintains the well established impressive standards of scholarship, research, news and reviews from the field of warship history. This edition features articles on a range of diverse subjects, including: the construction of the Royal Navy's Grand Fleet in the period 1906-16; the career of the French pre-dreadnought Gaulois; the story of TB191 - Tasmania's only torpedo boat; the IJN battlecruisers of the Kongo class; the loss of the Italian armoured cruiser the Giuseppe Garibaldi; the two auxiliary vessels Jules Verne and Le Gladiateur built for the Marine Nationale; the second part of an article on French fire control from 1900-13; an account of the light cruiser Yahagi at the Battle of Leyte Gulf; Russian monitors of the mid to late 1800s and a piece on the new generation of non-nuclear air-independent submarines. Contributors to the 2012 annual include Ian Johnston, Philippe Caresse, Mark Briggs, Hans Lengerer, Zvonimir Freivogel, John Spencer, Conrad Waters, Mike Williams and Stephen McLaughlin. The customary Warship notes and gallery sections complete the annual.
