Description
The US Navy Armored Cruisers 1890-1933 is a detailed history of the large, fast, and long-ranged warships that played a significant role in the US Navy's development as a great naval power. These armored cruisers, which emerged at the dawn of the "Steel Navy" era, sacrificed firepower and protection for superior speed and range, but their role was not always easy to define. Despite being produced at great expense, the US Navy found successful applications for these ships in various defensive and escorting roles. The book explores the development and deployment of these controversial but intriguing ships, highlighting their key services in the US Navy. With detailed color artwork and photos, this book provides a fascinating insight into the history of the US Navy's armored cruisers.
