Publisher's Note This authoritative register brings together a wealth of detailed historical and technical information about all the major combat ships in the U.S. Navy--from the sail frigates of the Revolution to today's nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines. Conceived and developed by Bauer before his death and extended and updated by Roberts, this reference guide is designed for the general student of American naval history. Entries begin with a listing of key technical specifications; offer data about ship building, construction dates, and final disposition; and conclude with notes about reconstructions, renamings, and reclassifications.
