From the sinking of the Maine, which sparked the Spanish-American War, to the devastating losses in the attack on Pearl Harbor, battleships have played a crucial role in the history of modern naval warfare.

The author is director of the history division, U.S. Naval Institute. The book consists largely of photos (most b&w). The text covers politics (funding), a little design and construction, and much combat. Oversize: 14x11. Annotation c. Book N
