As lead ship of America's first "fast battleship" class, and the US
Navy's newest battleship when America entered WWII, the
construction of the USS North Carolina was not only a source of
encouragement for a depression-wrought nation, but was also a
source of pride among a fleet of aging battleships. Earning fifteen
Battle Stars, the North Carolina is America's most-decorated
battleship, having participated in most of the major campaigns in
the Pacific during WWII. This volume documents not only the
construction and wartime exploits of this historic vessel, but
thoroughly explores the restored vessel, providing a great resource
for the armchair historian, a keepsake for those who visit the
museum ship, and a superb resource for the detailed model builder.
Carefully researched photos, many of which have never before been
published, are reproduced in remarkable clarity and put the reader
on and beneath the decks of this historic warship. Part of the
Legends of Warfare series.
