Download or read book Fleets of World War II written by Worth and published by Sarpedon Publishers. This book was released on 2001-04 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, readers interested in naval history have had their choices limited to expensive, multi-volume works written for specialists. Now, for the first time, a single major book covers the entire scope of the navies of World War II. This comprehensive survey of naval strengths is a valuable acquisition for experts in the field while at the same time an accessible and fascinating work for general readers. Fleets of World War II, packed with data and illustrated throughout, is not a simple list of ships, but an examination of those ships and the fleets they served. Unlike most ship references, it goes beyond the statistics to provide astute, practical analysis. Japan built the world's largest battleships with guns bigger than anything in the Allied arsenal -- but was bigger in fact better? The British launched a wartime flurry of ship production -- but did they build the ships they needed for victory? Current references skirt such questions or bury them beneath strings of stark measurements. Fleets of World War II dispels the clutter, providing a straightforward and unapologetic critique, not unlike a Siskel and Ebert at the Navies. A complete resource, Fleets of World War II includes every nation that took part in the war, along with the key neutrals. Each fleet is surveyed in totality, from the mighty battleships to the humble motor launches. Most importantly, the book manages all this in a handy single volume. The systematic presentation makes for easy reference: nation by nation, ship by ship. The plain-English style strips away the esoterica that restrict some writings to an already informed few. The vast audience of World War II readers will find in this book a multitudeof fascinating details on design, strategy and combat among navies around the globe. It will be a welcome addition to every military history bookshelf.

Download or read book U S Battleships written by Norman Friedman and published by US Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Norman Friedman Illustrated Design History series of U.S. warships books has been an industry standard for three decades and has sold thousands of copies worldwide. To mark and celebrate this achievement, the Naval Institute Press is proud to make these books available once more. Digitally remastered for enhanced photo resolution and quality, corrected, and updated, this series will continue to serve--for scholars and enthusiasts alike--as the foundation for U.S. naval warship research and reference for years to come. U.S. Battleships is one the most comprehensive references available on the entire development of U.S. battleships, starting in 1886, with Maine and Texas, continuing to South Carolina, the U. S. Navy's first dreadnought, through to the behemoth Montana-class of World War II, Friedman authoritatively analyzes the design and performance histories of this popular type. The long careers of the Iowa-class, including their recommissioning in the late Cold War, are covered. Like the other books in Friedman's design-history series, U.S. Battleships is based largely on formerly classified internal U.S. Navy records. Friedman, a leading authority on U.S. warships, explains the political and technical rationales for building battleships and recounts the evolution of each design. Alan Raven and A.D. Baker III have created detailed scale outboard and plan views of each ship class and of major modifications to many classes. Numerous photographs complement the text.
