Linkory tipa Nevada. Pervye superdrednouty amerikanskogo flota - Chaplygin Andrei Viktorovich

On December 7, 1941, more than three hundred and fifty Japanese aircraft attacked the u.S. Pacific Fleet base of Pearl Harbor. As a result of this attack, four American battleships were destroyed and 4 others were damaged...
Among these ships were the first two American superdnouts - battleships "Nevada" and "Oklahoma". Built in 1910-1916, these ships managed to participate in the First World War, and during the interwar period underwent a number of upgrades that increased their combat power, which, however, did not help them to defend themselves against the Japanese raid - received nine torpedoes "Oklahoma" overturned, taking 395 sailors to the bottom. "Nevada" was luckier - heavily damaged, he threw himself ashore to then undergo repairs and modernization and take an active part in world war, including covering the landing of allied troops in Normandy.
The proposed book is a detailed study on the design, construction and combat service of the first superdnoves of the U.S. Navy.
