You can get Conways for 1922-1946 for less then 100 USD, and it tends to have better information.

Yes, Conways is a nice pub (got a copy thanks :D ) but what I should have said, was to stay up-to-date, like subscribe and receive a new Jane's every year would rapidly a) murder your wallet and b) cause structural collapse of any floor other than basement from the weight of the volumes :shock:

There's very little point to getting a Janes every year, they only get significantly updated every four years or so anyway. As it is, I got one for 1996 for twenty bucks once a newer edition was out.

Good deal there!

One thing I just noticed leafing thru the old Janes was a shot of USS Hawaii being towed away for scrapping; I hadn't realized how complete she was (82%) when they disposed of her.
