It’s rare for a work to encompass everything about a force, yet it has been achieved here, the operations, battles, weapons, and all classes of aircraft carriers and submarines are covered to present a book that will satisfy naval enthusiasts. Well written, it’s superbly illustrated with photographs and artwork which will satisfy marine modellers who can use this as a reference guide. If you are looking for a complete single volume of USN ships in WWII, you will have found it with this book. You will not be disappointed.
