Seldon's STARSHIPS OF WAR is the recognized authority on the battlecraft in the Star Fleets of the major interstellar powers. Volume 2 in the Seldon's series represents the warships in general service in the human interstellar nations. Because of the wide range of ships presented, the plans are not all shown to the same scale. Each set of plans is accompanied by a five-meter scale bar for comparison purposes. Larger ships are presented in external view only, as interior detail often differs significantly between classes and the sheer size of the warships renders detailed deck plans difficult to present. Also, such vessels are characteristically subject to the strictest security measures and plans are not generally available for dissemination.
