Included sensors and EW and added details to the Weapons Specifications as suggested (Thanks for the feedback). Full Color photos and drawings. I decided to take a look at the number of active ships in the Russian Navy and their condition, just out of curiosity. I was able to pull together a lot of information. Not really sure how accurate it is, but it's as accurate as I could find. Whenever possible, I checked multiple sources and of course there are instances with slight variation, but by and large, most of it has been corroborated at multiple sources. The ships are shown by category (battlecruisers, frigates, destroyers, etc.) but the table of contents also listed them by hull number. I included lists of ships that also have been ordered, under construction or undergoing sea trials. I decided the breakoff point for the book would be ships larger than 800 tons. There are simply too many under that size to include them all. The information in this book is merely a snapshot in time. Warships are complex instruments that require a great deal of maintenance. Warships are also constantly being upgraded. New weapons and electronics are installed on a regular basis. Added info about Ka-27 Helicopter, Pantsir, Kashtan CIWS and drawings of the canceled Lider Destroyer. RUMINT is shown in RED text throughout. We will reprint this book as new information comes available. If you find something that needs to be corrected or updated, please let us know at USGOVPUB.COM.
