The Royal Navy is a legendary fighting force, with a fine tradition going back centuries. Today it is front and centre of United Kingdom defence, with sailors, aviators and Royal Marines Commandos also working closely with global allies.
In its twelfth edition since 2002, the ‘Warships International Fleet Review Guide to the Royal Navy’ will present its usual highly popular mix of ship type and unit profiles, along with high impact imagery, features plus commentaries on a Naval Service that acts as both the UK’s sword and shield in turbulent times.
Among highlights* of the new RN Guide will be a look at how drones are to play an important role in current and future operations. Also presented is how the Royal Marines Commandos, Surface Fleet, Submarine Service, Fleet Air Arm and other elements are shaping up as the Navy regenerates to handle missions today and well into the future.
A team of top writers will consider the impact of current world events on the Royal Navy, not least its importance within NATO, how it is responding to the Russian threat while also helping to safeguard freedom of the oceans in the Middle East and Indo-Pacific. Features on aspects of naval history and a lot more besides are to be part of the mix.
