Re: HELP NEEDED FROM OVERSEAS LIST MEMBERS!

I've opened my copy of 'Jane's	Fighting Ships of World War I', a
sort-of
compilation/distillation of issues of Jane's from 1914-1919, and found a
multi-language glossary of many naval terms in English, German, French,
Italian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Dutch, and Japanese.

Unfortunately, I fear much of this would be dated; the German for
battleship is 'linienschiff',
and think this translates to 'ship of the line', something I relate to
sailing ships, and not what I've seen more recently. Also,not in the
same
glossary, several of the naval lists have ranking descriptions. Again,
probably out-of-date.

I could type what I have found, but wonder if it might be worth your
while
to check a current, or nearly current Jane's. Alas, I can't help you
here;
in the current upheaval that is my office, even my mid '70s Jane's
competitor(Weyer's?) has been amongst the missing for far too long.

Otherwise, I'll see if I can scare up something contempory should you
still
need it. I haven't bought all these books just to have them prop up a
three-legged table, you know! (Hmm.. How WILL I prop this table up while
I'm searching these tomes?)
