The cover art shows a black and white photo of the HMS Centaur, with a Westland Dragonfly helicopter, Hawker Sea Fury's and Avengers on deck, that are with no. 920 squadron. This photo appears again inside the book in the chapter on the Avenger aircraft.
The book contains 8 chapters on:

The Russian Navy in the 21st century - color photo of submarines - Yuriy Dolgoruki, Alexandr Nevsky, Syevyerodwinsk, Sankt Peterburg, Novorossiysk, Admiral Golovkov and corvettes - Boykyi & Styeryeguskyi, the Missile Cruiser Dogestan, the small gunship Machatchkaa, an inside shot of the mine sweeper Alexamrit, the landing ship Ivan Gryen and the Vladivostok aircraft carrieer.
Japanese Battleship Yamato - 12 color 3D illustrations.
There is a pair of cardboard glasses with one red and one blue lens to use to see the illustrations in 3D. Unfortunately, I am slightly color-blind and they don't work for me, but my wife says that they do...sigh.
This is a neat book on naval things. It will be of great interest to naval historians and modelers alike.
Highly recommended.
I want to thank Casemate Publishing who sent me this review sample and the folks at Kagero.
