Part of a three-volume set on the world's battleships, this book provides a comprehensive history of all U.S. Navy battleships and battlecruisers built, designed, or projected built since the early 1930s. It covers their design and construction, operational careers, and eventual disposition. Complete plans are presented for many classes as well as extensive technical data covering their characteristics and performance, information that is sometimes hard to find and often contradictory. The operational careers of the ships are chronicled in detail. Incidents that challenged a ship's design adequacy, particularly from the standpoint of damage resistance, are discussed.
Originally published in 1976 with the subtitle U.S. Battleships in World War II, the book has undergone significant revision. Not only has it been brought up to date with the addition of a new chapter covering the Iowa-class reactivation through 1992, but the book now includes revelations uncovered in newly accessible material.
The authors offer a complete description and analysis of the tragic turret explosion aboard the USS Iowa in April 1989, with conclusions that differ from those widely reported by the media and from those officially presented by the Navy. In an appendix, they bring to light for the first time the full extent of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's involvement in the shaping of the U.S. fleet and credit him with influencing the design, construction, and deployment of battleships and battlecruisers built during his administration. For example, they cite Roosevelt as the individual responsible for the speed and endurance of the Alaska-class battleships and the design and construction of the Alaska-class battlecruisers and for controlling the number, general characteristics, gunnery, and anti-aircraft armament of other classes as well.
In addition, this massive work now offers information about the secret development of accurate long-range major-caliber gunfire control in the period before World War II, the proposed conversion of the Iowa and Alaska ships to aircraft carriers, and the twin-skeg problems encountered by battleships. Ship histories have been updated to include details about the service of the four reactivated Iowa battleships and their recent retirements.

5,0 von 5 Sternen Comprehensive and Arcane, love it.
Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 22. November 2016
Verifizierter Kauf
An excellent resource and reference book on the last couple of American Battleship classes ( Including the never built Montana-a giant Yamato-killer, and the Alaska not technically a Battleship at all) well illustrated and filled with technical information and behind the scenes lore. This is one of a series of 3 books the other 2 volumes cover Allied Battleships ( British, Russian, French, Netherlands) and Axis Battleships (Germany, Japan, Italy and possibly neutrals) and those are next on my to get list, because the authors ( along with Norman Friedman) are probably among the most knowledgeable of the publishing experts on the subject and few books will exceed the amount of detailed specific information included here. The appendix on armament is a useful and informative addition (no wonder the USN never went to 18 inch guns). I still have about half the book to read, I consumed over half of it in just 7 hours last night after work, I saved the Iowa and SoDak sections for last, shame we didn't build the Montana's they would have been even more beautiful and powerful than the Iowa's...and the section on Monatana was indeed one of the main reasons I bought this book.

4,0 von 5 Sternen Good overview of later USN battleship design
Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 5. Mai 2011
Verifizierter Kauf
Dulin and Garzke provide a very useful overview of the design history of the later US battleships, both the later treaty designs as well as the post-treaty designs. The amount of detail is excellent. The design histories and service histories are. Useful for the battleship enthusiast.

However, when it comes down to the final analysis, this book is for the enthusiast. The information is good, but very incompletely referenced. Much information is from archives, but it is not clear which information or what archives. Furthermore, discussion of quality of armor is lacking, as comparison of designs is not possible without accounting for armor quality (I speak of comparison across the 3 volumes written by Dulin and Garzke, as the USN designs may certainly be compared to each other.

That said, I am certainly an enthusiast, and I do recommend this book to any battleship enthusiast.

This is an excellent reference book if you're into this subject. Well worth the price since books of this caliber are few and far between.
