3 out of 5 stars This book is enormous!   August 7, 2008
I wondered what had arrived when the huge package containing this book arrived. I have never seen, let alone owned, such a physically massive book as this one.

The content is pretty good, but why the publisher chose such a massive format is beyond me.




2 out of 5 stars Much promise, little delivery   July 30, 2008

I so much wanted this to be the best book of its type but it failed to deliver. Yes, there were fine pictures and various titbits of information but none of the technical details that I love. I want to know why triple turrets were preferred on a particular class rather than twin turrets. Why on earth did the USA go for 12" guns on the Alaska class?

The book has gone to its rest on a bookshelf but it won't be the one I reach for when I need to check on naval facts
