Description
The US Navy's final predreadnought battleships played a pivotal role in shaping the US Navy into a global power. These ships, which included the Connecticuts, were the stars of the 1907-09 Great White Fleet circumnavigation, demonstrating the emerging power and reach of the US Navy around the world. The ships also took part in significant events, such as the bombardment and landings at Veracruz, and served as convoy escorts in World War I. The design, history, and technical qualities of these battleships are examined in this book, which also compares and contrasts US predreadnought battleships with their foreign contemporaries. With the help of illustrations and specially commissioned artwork, this book provides a comprehensive guide to the development of US Navy Battleships at the turn of the twentieth century.
