U.S. Public Libraries
[edit]I restored info on availability of Jane's in these libraries. Somebody had removed it because there are non-U.S. readers. It would have been better to add info for the non-U.S. folks, rather than to leave us Yanks in the dark. (It still would be better, too.) Lou Sander 00:16, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
- Fair point. It's good to know that I can find the books as you explained: In the U.S., one or more issues can usually be found in larger public libraries; and most U.S. libraries can access Jane's by interlibrary loan or that The technical library at the Naval Sea Systems Command in Washington, DC, has been designated a repository for Jane's Fighting Ships, and contains all issues of this document dating back to the original issue number 1.

More content required
[edit]Could we not have a few lines describing how Jane's goes about naming, referencing, classifying, detailing ships? Broichmore (talk) 11:09, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
- That sounds good. DIY tends to work best if you're interested in this topic! Nick-D (talk) 11:35, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
- Done. Flottes (talk) 20:35, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
No new editions?
[edit]Hasn't there been any new editions of this, one of their flagship publications, for twenty years? 192.121.232.253 (talk) 11:06, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
- There is a new edition every year. As of this moment, the latest is 2024-2025. 2601:188:CD82:A400:A178:A213:C198:E744 (talk) 19:12, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Maurice Prendergast
[edit]One of the editors is named Maurice Prendergast, would this be the artist of the same name, or is this merely a coincidence? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-62185-2 (talk) 20:46, 28 January 2026 (UTC)
- The name is complete coincidence. The painter was an American from the m Newfoundland, and at that time, Jane's was to the very greatest extent a British endeavour. ~2026-12657-56 (talk) 16:57, 26 February 2026 (UTC)
