Reviews

?The central theme of this tightly argued, well-documented book is the mutual dependence of navies and shipbuilding industries. A symbiosis occurs since the technical competence of industry determines the effectiveness of navies, while navies are the chief buyers of warships. Strains on the symbiosis have occurred in recent decades because progressive specialization of warships renders naval shipbuilding increasingly costly and unsuited for any other use.?-Choice
