All
the World's Battleships : 1906 to the Present
Ian Sturton (Editor)
For two generations, battleships, sometimes known as all-big-gun ships,
represented the military might and pride of their countries. They threatened,
they impressed, they surprised in a way that no other symbol could, and
their presence could influence events for hundreds of miles around. Their
like will never be built again, as the capital ships of today and tomorrow
are platforms for missiles or aircraft. This volume provides the technical
data, gives the design background, and outlines the careers of the world's
battleships and battlecruisers. Amazon UK

Japanese Battleships
Requiem
for Battleship Yamato (Bluejacket Books)
by Yoshida Mitsuru, Richard H. Minear (Translator)
Requiem for Battleship Yamato is Yoshida Mitsuru's story of his own
experience as a junior naval officer aboard the fabled Japanese battleship
as it set out on a last, desperate sortie in April 1945. Yoshida was on
the bridge during Yamato's fatal encounter with American airplanes, and
his eloquent, moving account of that battle makes a singular contribution
to the literature of the Pacific war. The book has long been considered
a classic in both Japan and the United States. As with most great battle
stories, its ultimate concern is less bombs and bullets than human nature,
less death than life. This sensitive translation by Richard Minear is totally
faithful to Yoshida's original prose, its language vigorous and idiomatic
yet poetic in nature. An informative introduction puts the work in historical
and political context and discusses Yoshida's postwar search for the meaning
of peace. Amazon.com

Battleships
by Paul Stillwell
Book Description: From the sinking of the Maine, which sparked the
Spanish-American War, to the devastating losses in the attack on Pearl
Harbor, Battleships have played a crucial role in the history of US naval
warfare. Tracing the development of the battleship from the commissioning
of the first seagoing class in the 1890's, Battleships brings to life the
story of these lethal leviathans with illuminating text and stunning full-color
and black-and-white archival photographs. Affecting personal reminiscences
from both officers and enlisted men give readers an intimate look at the
reality of the men who lived and died aboard.
