"Years ago while I was still just a young battleship enthusiast, I bought my first copy of U.S. Battleships: An Illustrated Design History. I frequently reference it when creating exhibits, and filming videos for the museum's YouTube channel. The book is still as relevant today as it was when it was first released, and perfect for anyone interested in learning more about U.S. Navy Battleships!" --Ryan Szimanski, executive director of the Historic Naval Ships Association and the curator for Battleship New Jersey Museum and Memorial, "Years ago while I was still just a young battleship enthusiast, I bought my first copy of U.S. Battleships: An Illustrated Design History .

Synopsis
Naval historians and enthusiasts alike will find U.S. Battleships to be the most comprehensive reference available on the entire development of U.S. battleships, from the Maine and Texas of 1886, through the Montana class of World War II, up to the recommissioned Iowas. Like the other books in Norman Friedman's design-history series, U.S. Battleships is based largely on formerly classified internal U.S. Navy records. Friedman, a leading authority of U.S. warships, explains the political and technical rationales for building battleships and recounts the evolution of each design. Alan Raven and A.D. Baker III have created detailed scale outboard and plan views of each battleship class and of major modifications to many classes. Numerous photographs complement the text., One the most comprehensive references available on the development of US battleships, starting in 1886, with Maine and Texas, continuing to South Carolina, the US Navy's first dreadnought, through to the Montana-class of World War II, Friedman analyses the design and performance histories of this popular type.
