"Updated periodically (every three years or so) this work provides a detailed description as at the time of publishing - in this case 1978. Ordinarily, either a complete review of the ships "or" the aircraft of the US Fleet would provide sufficient material for such a book as this. To include both, however, provides the reader with a complete description of just about every single aspect of the ships and aircraft in service in the US Navy at the time each edition of this book is published. This is a most thorough review of the subject in hand."
