The Naval Annual was a book that provided considerable text and graphic information (largely concerning the British Royal Navy) which had previously been obtainable only by consulting a wide range of often foreign language publications. It was started by Thomas Brassey, 1st Earl Brassey in 1886. Though often compared with Jane's Fighting Ships, the two British annuals were, in fact quite different. The Brassey series began a dozen years earlier, and its special strength was the dozen or more detailed articles on naval matters, authored by experts. They covered British and other nations' naval developments ranging from the latest ships to overall policy. From the Prefatory: "As to the contents of the Naval Annual, they have all relation to the war. Commander Robinson continues has admirable and instructive survey of the naval operations. There follows a study of the strategy of the war, and the new conditions by which strategy is influenced. Sir Francis Taylor Piggot, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Hong Kong has contributed a luminous chapter on "Neutrals and the War". Another writer has addressed "Aircraft and the War". Alexander Richardson addressed "The War and Some Portents of Naval Machinery Design". There is also a chapter on the United States Navy which was then in a state of active development. Part III deals chiefly with the production of naval armaments, armour and munitions in the United States. Part IV is a collection of many official statements and reports.
