Baker III Superb book!! A one-stop shop for everything naval in 2002/2003. Great for researchers and historians. This popular navy guide is internationally acknowledged as the world's leading one-volume reference to the world's naval and paranaval forces. Comprehensive, authoritative and affordable, it is updated biennially to include accurate and timely data about the composition of the afloat, coastal defense, and aviation arms of more than one hundred eighty countries and territories, including coast guards and other armed maritime government services. Both major fleets like those of the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, Japan, France, and Italy, and small maritime forces like those in Africa, Latin America, and the Pacific Islands get equally thorough treatment. Detailed and current information is provided on the characteristics and capabilities of ships and crafts ranging from giant aircraft carriers and ballistic missile submarines to the smallest of tugboats and launches--literally thousands of vessels not found in similar publications. To keep the reader totally up to date, special attention is given to documenting the retirement or transfer abroad of older warships. Full descriptions of principal naval aircraft, weapons systems, and sensors are provided along with useful data on organization, personnel strengths, and bases. This new volume has been compiled from information contributed by more than a hundred correspondents around the world and illustrated with thousands of photographs and drawings. Researchers can access all this information quickly, thanks to a thorough indexing of the material and a logical ship-typing system that not only makes the book easy to use but also makes comparisons between fleets easier. Because ship classes within each type are arranged from new to old, the latest developments are easily noted. A new, easy-to-use presentation of shipboard weapon and sensor systems is yet another valuable feature of the 2002-03 edition. For this latest Naval Institute guide, A. D. Baker III has once again raised the standard for breadth of coverage, volume of detail, and ease of use. The fact that Combat Fleets remains the least expensive single-volume reference available makes the work unbeatable. ??? page first edition hardcover published 2002 -------------------------------------------------- SHIPPING:UK Items usually sent by Royal Mail, with tracking SHIPPING: OVERSEAS ITEMS WORTH LESS THAN €150 / £135 From 1 July 2021, the Brexit transition period ends. From this date forward, EVERYTHING sold to a country outside of the UK counts as an export, and as such could be subject to VAT/tax. EU member states require an IOSS (Import One Stop Shop) number, although this is optional. From 1 July, eBay should provide me with an IOSS number once you have completed checkout. I will then make sure this number is visible on your parcel. This is to tell the customs officials in your country that you have already paid the relevant taxes at point of purchase. The VAT rate for books and printed papers is 0% in the UK, but it may well be different for your country. The good news is that eBay have an entire team dedicated to working out the tax rates for you - these should be visible on your pre-order summary just before you complete checkout, and will be based on 1) the applicable VAT rate for the type of goods you have bought 2) the value of the goods. If you have won an item at open auction, then the final tax amount will not be visible until bidding ends. If you are purchasing a 'buy it now' item then the applicable tax should be visible before you complete checkout.This rule covers items less worth than €150 / £135, regardless of whether there is one item or multiple items in the order. For orders worth more than €150 / £135, please see below.Some countries such as Australian (ABN numbers) and some US States have already implemented the collection of taxes at point of purchase, so customers in these countries will in most cases be familiar with the collection of tax when buying on eBay UK. If any additional codes are required for your parcels, then I am confident that eBay will provide me with them. I will then in due course make sure they are visible on any paperwork or address labels, to show you have already paid your tax. current VAT rates for books can be seen here: https://www.internationalpublishers.org/our-work/vat-and-fixed-book-price/printed-books-and-vat-gst SHIPPING:OVERSEAS ORDER WORTH MORE THAN €150 / £135 If your order - whether an individual item or multiple items - is worth more than €150 / £135, then eBay will NOT provide me with an IOSS (Import One Stop Shop) number once you have completed checkout. Currently, such orders will be subject to tax/VAT (if required) only when they enter the destination country, at the discretion of the local tax authority and based on the tax rates for the kind of item(s) you have purchased. *Please note* that the parcel may also be subject to a release charge by the customs agency in your country. This is the system as it stands - in the future, there may become available a service whereby you can pay all charges up front, in which case I will update my listings.

I try my best to describe items accurately, and resolve any issues in a timely manner. Please refer to my 100% positive feedback record over the last 17years. YOU HAVE 30 DAYS from date of payment in which to return an item and claim a refund. This is the time allocated to you as a customer by law, and conversant with eBay's returns policy.
