Description
Vessels of the U.S. and Soviet navies squared off constantly throughout the Cold War. Armed with massive firepower and nuclear weapons, the ships had the frightening potential to find themselves engaged in a massive naval battle. Beginning immediately after WWII, this history examines how the combatants poured seemingly limitless resources into naval development. Includes aircraft carriers, battleships, cruisers, destroyers, submarines, naval aircraft, and amphibious forces. The hardware of both sides are compared; weapons, performance and dimensions, and key incidents are recounted.
