5.0 out of 5 stars Detailed, October 20, 2003

Sean C. Dieffenbach (Carson City, Nevada United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: U.S. Small Combatants, Including Pt-Boats, Subchasers, and the Brown-Water Navy: An Illustrated Design History (Hardcover)

This book has the most detail on the subject of any that I have found. Many line drawings. I only wish that it also had drawings of some of the ship's hull lines suitable for scratchbuilding models. I'm researching my next boat (vietnam 100' PGM) and this book confirmed that it is just an extended USCG 95' patrol boat with additional armament. It is truly the best $42 resource I have ever purchased. Get it, you won't be disappointed.
