Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the American Civil War, the US Navy had been allowed to decay into complete insignificance, yet the commissioning of the modern Brazilian battleship Riachuelo and poor performance against the contemporary Spanish fleet, forced the US out of its isolationist posture towards battleships. The first true US battleships began with the experimental Maine and Texas, followed by the three-ship Indiana class, and the Iowa class, which incorporated lessons from the previous ships. These initial ships set the enduring US battleship standard of being heavily armed and armoured at the expense of speed. This fully illustrated study examines these first six US battleships, a story of political compromises, clean sheet designs, operational experience, and experimental improvements. These ships directly inspired the creation of an embryonic American military-industrial complex, enabled a permanent outward-looking shift in American foreign policy and laid the foundations of the modern US Navy.

Download or read book Battleship Indiana written by William G. Cassard and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-11-27 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To meet the expressed wishes of officers and enlisted men of the United States Battleship Indiana for some permanent record of the ship's doings in the war between the United States and Spain, 1898, this small book has been prepared, with the hope that it may, to some extent, answer that purpose. The illustrations are taken, for the most part, from a series of photographs made by Chaplain Cassard of the Indiana. These photographs have a war history of their own. Most of them were negatives stored in the stateroom of the Chaplain at the time the Spanish shell came on board and exploded, as told in Chapter Seven. When he entered his room after the explosion he found his camera, film rolls, etc., mingled with the rest of the contents of his room in the middle of the floor in four inches of water. Some of the undeveloped films were exposed to the rays of electric light and that accounts for the peculiar appearance of several of the illustrations in this volume, although it adds interest to them. For the benefit of friends of the ship ashore a small amount of space is devoted to general information concerning the vessel.

Download or read book USN Battleship vs IJN Battleship written by Mark Stille and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the build-up to World War II both the United States and Japan believed their battleships would play a central role in battle, but after the Pacific War began in December 1941, the role of the battleship proved to be much more limited than either side expected. There would be only two battleship vs battleship actions in the Pacific in World War II, both of which are assessed in this engaging study. At Guadalcanal in 1942, Kirishima faced two modern US battleships, USS Washington and USS South Dakota. In the Surigao Strait in 1944, two World War I-era Japanese battleships, Yamashiro and Fuso, faced six American battleships supported by four heavy cruisers in history's last-ever clash between battleships. Employing full-colour artwork, carefully selected archive photographs, and expert analysis, former US Navy Commander Mark E. Stille examines the two head-to-head clashes between the battleships deployed by the United States and Japan in the struggle for control of the Pacific during World War II.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the moment when the launching of HMS Dreadnought made every capital ship in the world obsolete overnight, we have been fascinated with these powerful surface combatants.

From Arizona to Yamato, here are more than sixty lavishly illustrated accounts of battleships from the most well-known to the most unusual, including at least one ship from every nation that ever owned a modern battleship. Separate essays and sidebars look at events and lore that greatly affected battleships.
