About this product
Battlestations! American Warships of WWII offers a sweeping, illustrated look at U.S. naval power in World War II, tracing the roles of battleships, aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, submarines, PT boats and landing craft across all theaters. Through ship-by-ship profiles—covering service histories, specifications, armament and ultimate fates—and highlighted examples such as USS Missouri, USS Indianapolis and USS Hornet, the book interweaves technical detail with first‑hand anecdotes and memories from officers and sailors to bring the experience of warship service and fleet action to life.
Presented as an illustrated technical and historical reference, the volume features rare color photography from the war years alongside a selection of black‑and‑white images, concise warship profiles, and eyewitness reminiscences that make it both a photographic naval history and a practical reference for ship design and armament. Written by Nicholas A. Veronico and Armand H. Veronico, the book (ISBN 9780760309544) is oriented toward history enthusiasts seeking visual documentation, ship specifications and a vivid chronicle of navy life during WWII.
