American Battleships, Carriers, and Cruisers (Navies of the Second World War)

Another useful handbook from Mr. Lenton. The American Navy had the backing of the world's largest ship-building industry, and the rejigging of their WWI navy was accomplished in a remarkably short time. While the Cruisers are only photographed, and the carriers get an endplate profile and deck plan, the battleships are profiled and deck planned reasonably well, especially the WWI rebuilds. A very useful book and the cheapest way of appreciating the size of the American Naval effort.

Pretty much for completists, if you're trying to collect all of the books in this series. Not a great deal of information, and a surprising number of blanks, considering most of this information would have been available in contemporary issues of Jane's Fighting Ships.
