U.S Battleships in Action Part 1

by Robert C. Stern

"Nevada, along with fellow survivors of the Pearl Harbor holocaust, hands back a bit of it off the Iwo Jima coast, February 1945. The camouflage scheme is an example of the relatively rare Measure 31a, which substituted Navy Blue for Dull Black as the darkest color.

Stern covers the "old" battleships of World War II, providing a sort overview from Pearl Harbor to Tokyo Bay (including the Atlantic and Mediterranean), before going though each class and the fates of each vessel. The illustrations are lavish and helpful.

informativo e interesante. Detalla la historia de los acorazados "viejos" de USA, construídos desde la WWI hasta los años 20, que se llevaron el peso de Pearl Harbour y tuvieron luego destacada participación en la WWII y especialmente en el estrecho de Surigao. Nota especial a la detallada descripción de las reconstrucciones y los camuflajes dazzle, que me chiflan.
