Register of Ships of the U.S. Navy, 1775-1990

Rating:
Summary: Excellent research.
Review: Steve Roberts has built on the earlier work of Jack Bauer to put together one of the most accurate lists published of ships of the U.S. Navy. Meticulously researched through primary Navy records, the book corrects dozens of earlier errors of names, dates and details and provides comments on nearly every type of combatant vessel built for the USN. This is NOT a coffee-table book full of pretty pictures; rather, it is stuffed with details that are quite useful for anyone needing reliable information.
