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.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 248mmItem Length: 184mmItem Width: 5mmItem Weight: 186gAuthor: Lawrence BurrIllustrator: Peter BullContributor: Peter Bull (Illustrated by)Genre: Law & PoliticsTopic: Military History, HistoryBook Series: New VanguardRelease Year: 2010 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
