Expert contributors connect current fleets to naval history

World Naval Review combines current naval affairs with historical context, drawing on established historians and analysts. The 2022 volume introduces contributors including Norman Friedman, David Hobbs, Richard Scott and Richard Beedall, with Conrad Waters as editor. The review then turns to the newly supplied 2026 edition, whose contents include regional fleet surveys and studies of individual ships and weapons. The selected readings cover Japan in the Asia-Pacific survey, India's INS Vikrant, and Friedman's chapter on surface-ship anti-submarine weapons.
