Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

The Kaufmans, father Yogi and photographer son Steve, give us a splendid look at U.S. Navy supercarriers. The text introduces the history, tactics, and internal organization of these ships, which operate with a crew of about 6,000, and offers comments from crew members ranging from captain to cook. The book's selling point, though, is its magnificent, technically outstanding, well-reproduced photographs--a series of vivid images registering the sheer size and complexity of the supercarriers. Consider it an invaluable acquisition for naval buffs as well as a fine primer on its subject for less-informed browsers. Roland Green

This review is from: City at Sea (Hardcover)

I read this book from cover to cover as part of a research project and it's wonderful. It had much more detail than I expected regarding all of the Departments and roles of the men and women aboard an aircraft carrier. And it is beautifully photographed and printed. Great read, great visuals.
