Description
The Imperial Japanese Navy of World War 2 surpassed the Allied and Axis fleets in innovation and technology.
This title covers the 12 Japanese battleships that saw service between 1941-45.
Each class is considered in turn in light of its design and construction, its armament and wartime modifications.
The author, Mark Stille, also uses first-hand accounts and dramatic photographs to tell the story of these mighty battleships at war, including major engagements during the raid at Pearl Harbor and the battle of Midway.
He also examines the wider context of Japanese battleship development by looking at the naval strategy and cult of the battleship.
This title will fascinate any naval enthusiast, and the detailed color plates will make it essential for modelers of the period.
