Stimulating articles, beautifully produced and published, yet again this series has delivered a wonderful collection which is also great fun to read. I look forward to Warship 2024!
- Peter Wykeham-Martin, Warship World
One of the great if idiosyncratic pleasures of this long-running title is the fact that it is not really a single volume but a continuing contribution to the soundest and most detailed minutiae of modern naval history. Articles can be split over more than one volume while the editor and/or hugely varied range of contributors can pose questions and seek responses from readers. To all intents Warship is a reference work created over several decades to the very highest standards of accuracy and withwhat is in effect a degree of community engagement.

I have reviewed the Warship series for a number of years and they never disappoint. This latest edition is a fascinating eclectic mix of articles on subjects ranging from bizarre designs to modern weapons systems and current naval thinking. The editor John Jordan is to be congratulated on editing such a heady mix from authoritative contributors
- Peter Wykeham-Martin, Warship World
The extent of the scholarship of the contributors to Warship 2023 is readily evident from the detail in the articles and the extensive endnotes. The book is also fully illustrated with clear line drawings, tables and black & white photographs.
- REAR ADMIRAL R. G. MELLY, The Naval Review
The 2023 edition of the popular Warship series continues in the established tradition of its predecessors in offering detailed insights into comparatively under-researched aspects of naval development relevant to military historians and armchair enthusiasts of the post-sail era. In so doing it treads a careful critical line which pulls in innovations, technical details and broader geopolitical trends shaping naval development. Moreover, the relative diversity and accessibility of the content is matched by the quality of production, with the hardback version having a distinct ‘coffee table’ feel.
- Jesse Heley, Intelligence and National Security Journal
The latest edition of Warship, the celebrated annual publication featuring the latest research on the history, development, and service of the world's warships.
For over 45 years, Warship has been the leading annual resource on the design, development, and deployment of the world's combat ships. Featuring a broad range of articles from a select panel of distinguished international contributors, this latest volume combines original research, new book reviews, warship notes, an image gallery, and much more, maintaining the impressive standards of scholarship and research with which Warship has become synonymous. Detailed and accurate information is the keynote of all the articles, which are fully supported by plans, data tables, and stunning photographs.
This year's Warship includes features on the secret battleship design that Mussolini's Fascist Italy sold to Stalin's USSR, the little-known German flak ships of World War II, the French aircraft carriers Clemenceau and Foch, and the development of electronic warfare in the Royal Navy.
