' good picture album
This more a wonderful picture album than a good book on the battleships of the USN. However, the pictures there are fantastic and the book is a good addition to the Norman Friedman's study of the U.S. Battleships

This review is from: The American Battleship (Hardcover)
If you are new to battleship books or buying one for someone who is new to them, then I would recommed this book. If you are an experienced reader of battleship books and have many like me, then skip this book. You won't find anything new here. The text and most of the pictures are not new. Contrary to the editorial reveiw there are no cutaways and blueprints. The editorial review also described the book as a pictorial history with archival photos. Though the book does contains lots of pictures, most have been published in other battleship books. The Library of Congress Photographic Division and Naval Historical Society have hundreds of beautiful, never before published photos of US battleships. I was hoping this book would show some of them in large format.
