This specially commissioned photo guide, a companion volume to "Today's British Army in Colour", demonstrates what the Royal Navy does, where it does it and what kinds of weapons and equipment are kept aboard the various vessels currently serving. Due to the nature of its seaborne activities, the Navy often does far more in many locations worldwide than is recognized by the general public. This book attempts to provide a clearer picture of the role of the Royal Navy, and contains 400 colour photographs which demonstrate better than words the modern Navy at work in the 1990s. Fully endorsed by the Royal Navy, it covers all vessel types, roles, stations and equipment.
