I found this book to be a disappointment since I had expected more photographs to be intertwined with the illustrations. In addition, the classification of ships was disorganized in my opinion (for example, I would expect the Nimitz class aircraft carrier and its variations to be grouped all in the same section, instead of being split up in two).
This book is packed full of information and illustrations. Any one who loves boats will LOVE this book. Great coffee table book!
Very good !
