US Fast Battleships 1936-47, Lawrence Burr, North Carolina + South Dakota Class

Description: US Fast Battleships 1936-47, Lawrence Burr, North Carolina + South Dakota Class Awesome book and brand new! This book kept our son occupied on the long car trip to Gramma's house. We bought him a new copy, but he wants his old, much used friendly and comforting copy. Kids - ya gotta laugh. This volume details the design, construction, and operation of the first six of the ten US fast battleships, two of the North Carolina class and four of the South Dakota class. These six battleships were all authorized in 1936 and were the first vessels built in the US since 1923. Consequently, these ships benefitted from enormous technological leaps, with improvements in ship design, power, armor, armament and the single most important improvement the use of radar guided fire control helping to change the course of the war in the Pacific. Packed with first-hand accounts, battle reports, and specially created artwork this book tells the story of these war-winning vessels.
