Naval Terms Dictionary

The "Naval Terms Dictionary" is essentually that, a dictionary of terms often used in the Navy. While it is geared for the modern navy, a good many antiquated terms (from the age of sail) are in it as well, though not all. While the "Naval Terms Dictionary" is a great tool, I have found a few drawbacks to it. While it is set up alphabetically like a normal dictionary, it completely lacks any sort of pronunciation guide for words (some of those terms are pronounced funny) and a listing of what type of word it is (noun, verb, adj, etc). It also neglects to seperate different definitions for the words, opting to give both in a paragraph form. You can usually define the type of word it is from the definition, but it would have been a little more professional to write it in a standard dictionary format.Overall, despite its relatively minor flaws, this book is a great tool for folks who are in the navy, or read a lot of naval history and fiction.
