Издание на английском языке
The book examines the design, development, armament, modifications, and operational history of the US Navy’s Atlanta-class light cruisers. Richly illustrated with photographs, technical drawings, and detailed cutaways, it explains how ships originally conceived as destroyer leaders became highly effective antiaircraft cruisers during World War II. It also covers the Oakland and Juneau subclasses, wartime service in the Pacific, and the class’s postwar development.
