The 1950-51 edition of Jane's Fighting Ships is one of my favourites for two reasons; many of the ships that survived the Second World War are present, and it marks the first change in 'Pride of Place' for a warship category when after 52 years, the battleship was bumped to second place in the listings by the aircraft carrier (The carrier's reign would be short-lived when in the 1966-67 edition, the honour would be given to submarines). Mine is one of the 'reprint' issues from Arco Publishing Company in 1975, and I was happy to stumble across it quite a few years ago at a bookstore that used to reside near the Trans-Canada Highway between Fredericton and Moncton, New Brunswick. There are still copies showing up online, but be sure to shop around as some of the prices are outlandish.
By 1950 there weren't many battleships left plying the world's oceans. The Royal Navy was still operating HMS Vanguard, while the King George V class was rapidly going into reserve status, and the US Navy would soon begin a perpetual 'mothball/place back in service' routine with their Iowa Class - something that continued until the last one was finally(?) decommissioned in 1991.
Most of the older battleships would soon be scrapped or thankfully, saved as museum ships.
