See the description below from the dustwrapper flap.  Each volume of the series was published separately and stands on its own.  See the contents list below for the categories of vessel covered in this volume.

Despite the extreme importance of the series to naval historians and model-makers, Bloomsbury (which now owns Conway) has allowed all three volumes to go out of print.

Please note the dustwrapper illustration was taken from an original official plan drawing, and the streaks down the page appear to have been damage to the original.  The dustwrapper itself is not damaged.
