The New Navy 1883-1922/Новый флот 1883-1922

Издание на английском языке
The book presents a comprehensive history of the development of the United States Navy from 1883 to 1922, a period that transformed it from a small force of aging ships into a modern world-class fleet. It covers battleships, cruisers, torpedo boats, destroyers, submarines, patrol and mine vessels, auxiliaries, transports, and other government ships, providing technical specifications, construction data, armament, service records, and final dispositions. Particular attention is given to the Spanish-American War, the Great White Fleet, World War I, the development of naval aviation, and the introduction of new technologies in propulsion, armor, guns, torpedoes, and fire control. The book is extensively illustrated with historical photographs and includes chronology, reference tables, appendices, and indexes.
