"There are superb photos and illustrations provided to give one a sense of what these ships were like. If you are a nautical modeler or a fan of ships, or just want to know more about these vessels, I highly recommend picking this one up." - Modeling Madness, "There are superb photos and illustrations provided to give one a sense of what these ships were like. If you are a nautical modeler or a fan of ships, or just want to know more about these vessels, I highly recommend picking this one up." - Modeling Madness " A truly massive amount of technical and historic information is contained within this slim volume's 48 pages, making this a great little primer for an important category of US Navy ships. Highly recommended." - IPMS/USA

Synopsis
During World War II, the United States built 72 light cruisers of various classes. In response to the severe air threat that surface ships faced, new cruisers were designed with increasingly heavy antiaircraft weaponry as well as the traditional six-inch guns. With the speed and range to keep up with aircraft carriers, and their considerable antiaircraft capability, they were a mainstay of the carrier escorts. This book examines every US light cruiser produced, including those of the Fargo and Worcester classes--which were actually completed after World War II had ended--tracing their design, development, and evolution throughout the war and beyond., Authoritative coverage of the technology and combat histories of America's WWII light cruisers, sure to appeal to enthusiasts of both the U.S. Navy and the campaigns of WWII., During World War II, the United States built 72 light cruisers of various classes.

    Oh man, easily one of the best purchases off of eBay, ever. Amazing customer service from communications right down to how securely packaged the books were, not to mention the condition of the book. These books are in BETTER condition than listing stated. 7-Westerns from 1950 to 1975, all of which looked brand new, except one or two gave the appearance of having been read. I couldn't believe it, no old smells, ripped pages. This is seller is absolutely amazing. Thank you again, mdcomix!
