Soviet Navy

Since Admiral Sergei G. Gorshkov was appointed to the office of commander in chief of the Soviet Navy in 1956 the Soviet Union has made a massive investment in naval construction training and operations. As a result the Soviet Navy has grown from a coastal defense force to one of the world's two strongest navies. This book offers a detailed assessment of every major aspect of the Soviet Navy from fleet structure and training facilities to command and control procedures and warfare and intelligence collection capabilities.
