Synopsis
During World War II, the United States built 72 light cruisers of various classes. In response to the severe air threat that surface ships faced, new cruisers were designed with increasingly heavy antiaircraft weaponry as well as the traditional six-inch guns. With the speed and range to keep up with aircraft carriers, and their considerable antiaircraft capability, they were a mainstay of the carrier escorts. This book examines every US light cruiser produced, including those of the Fargo and Worcester classes--which were actually completed after World War II had ended--tracing their design, development, and evolution throughout the war and beyond., Authoritative coverage of the technology and combat histories of America's WWII light cruisers, sure to appeal to enthusiasts of both the U.S. Navy and the campaigns of WWII.

    This item exceeded my expectations. Vendor had a hard-to-find model I have been a long time looking for, along with two bonus models to go with it. Description photos were adequate. All are complete and in new condition. Packaging was to notch, and delivery was fast. Am very satisfied and will do business with this vendor in the future. Thanks again.
