FOREWORD

S ince the fi rst i ssue o f T HE \VORLD’

S WARSHIPS was prepared by the late F red T . Jane in 1915,i t has

passed th rough frequent fresh edi t ions , but has altered i ts form but l i t t le .With a fi rst - class naval war in progress

,there i s a constant demand for an up - t o - date summary of t he World

’

s

war fleets in a compac t form . To meet th is,a complete revision of the book ’ s con tent s has been undertaken . This

h as been anything bu t a simple task,owing to the complicat ions presented by casualt ies and the diffi culty of

obtaining detai ls of new ships .In the following pages every effect ive warship in existence wi l l be found l isted , including those au thorised or

under const ruct ion,t ogether with the date of launch or laying down

,displacement

,designed speed

,armament and

aircraft equipment . Oi lers,t ransports and o ther auxi liaries possessing no fighting value have in the main been excluded .

In the nat ional in terest,part icu lars of B rit ish sh ips la id down under War programmes cannot be given , but a li st o f

all war losses i s given as an appendix .

I llust rat ions comprise photographs of typical ships of the principal navies . In a number of instances thesehave been reproduced from the curren t issue of Jane

’ s F ight ing ShipsFor assistance in the preparat ion of th is volume I am indebted to Mr. Cyri l R ichardson .
