In 1938, the United States abandoned the constraints imposed by the
Washington Treaty and began work on a new class of
super-battleships. This book covers the design, construction, and
employment of the four Iowa-class battleships, the largest in the
American fleet. During World War II, they served as guards for the
aircraft carriers and their bombardments provided cover for the
numerous landings in the Pacific. At the war's end, the Japanese
signed their surrender on the decks of an Iowa-class battleship,
the USS Missouri. After World War II, the ships continued to serve,
providing support during Korea, Vietnam, and even the first Gulf
War. This book tells the full story of the greatest of the American
battleships.
