Excellent Summary of American Battleships,
By jlawhon@aol.com (Atlanta, Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: American Battleships: A Pictorial History of BB-1 to BB-71 (Perfect Paperback)
Max Newhart has created an excellent overview of Amercian Battleships. His work provides the reader with basic technical and historical information on each American Battleship from the Maine to the Montana class. This work enables students of naval warfare to follow the advancements in Battleship construction by simply turning the pages in chronological order. If you are seeking detailed information on individual ships you will need to look elsewhere. However, if you have a general interest in naval ships and you want to improve your knowlege of American Battleships this is a terrific book.

This review is from: American Battleships: A Pictorial History of BB-1 to BB-71 (Perfect Paperback)
I got this book from Amazon.com on discount. So, it was a good value. For less than $10 (including shipping) I got a book with lots of good information. This book gives a complete break down of Battleship classes. Example: The USS Michigan is of the South Carolina Class. The USS New Jersey is of the Iowa class. Also, this book has a wonderful break down of the number of battleships in service by a decade breakdown from 1900 to 2000. The USA had 30 Battleships in service during 1910. We only had 23 in service in 1945. It was 0 in 1960. This is a good value for the money. I build Battleshps. So, I needed a quick reference. I have been happy with the purchase. So, fellow Battleship fan, this book is worth your money.

Very good all inclusive Battleship book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: American Battleships: A Pictorial History of BB-1 to BB-71 (Perfect Paperback)
This book was great. I liked it because it included all the battleships built by the U.S. and those that were scheduled to be built, but never were. It gave a a good history on each of them and also a decade by decade insight of the political circumstances surrounding the building of battleships. Again, a very good book.
