The Book of United States Navy Ships by Rear Admiral M. D. Van Orden, USN (Ret.)

"This fourth revised edition of the book that has become accepted as the best concise authority on the ships of the U.S. Navy includes updating of information and new photographs to provide the latest information about naval craft in operation today.
The most important and most representative types and classes - carriers, battleships, cruisers, frigates, destroyers, submarines, amphibious warfare ships, auxiliary and underway replenishment ships, escort, patrol, and mine warfare ships - are discussed and illustrated by large, clear photographs. Also described is the mission of each ship as a member of the Navy teams - the Battle Groups and Fleets.
There are sections on Navy terminology, how ships are named and designated, and ships of the future with artists drawings."
