Building on the expertise of the authors and historians of the Naval Institute Press, the Naval History Special Editions are designed to offer studies of the key vessels, battles, and events of armed conflict. USS Massachusetts is the third ship of the South Dakota-class, whose short career encapsulates the story of the US Navy in World War II.
The first book to describe the infamously difficult task of fighting in the dark at sea. Written by a team of internationally renowned naval historians. A fine blend of technical developments and battle histories.
The German heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen was a remarkable vessel by any standard and was arguably one of the most handsome major warships ever constructed. This book provides more than just a complete record of Prinz Eugen's career. The collection of maps and photographs reveals every aspect of her brief but intense time afloat.
The remarkable career of this remarkable ship is the subject of this authoritative and heavily illustrated Special Edition. It considers Tirpitz's design, her construction, her historical context and all of her operations.
