As with other books by this author, this is a very good reference book. Unlike his other works, several of the photos are of bad quality. The issue is clearly with the original pictures. THey were, after all, taken during WW2. Two sets of pictures are misplaced. Images of one of the Alaska class ships and USS Long Beach were placed in the wrong sections. Another problem that should have been caught in the editing process.
