More Description

Naval Warfare (first published in 1947 as Fundamentals of Naval Warfare) provides a unique, non-technical overview of all aspects of how the U.S. Navy fought during the Second World War. Author Lee Levert provides insights into topics such as types of ships (aircraft carriers, battleships, submarines, etc.) and their design, weapons (guns, rockets, torpedoes, depth charges, mines), shore installations, tactics and types of naval warfare, engineering, communications, and personnel. Major sea battles of the war are also described. Written in an easy-to-comprehend style and illustrated with many helpful line drawings, Naval Warfare remains one of the few books to examine the 'nuts-and-bolts' of how the Navy fought and contributed to the Allied victory in World War II.
