Sacred Vessels: The Cult of the Battleship and the Rise of the US Navy
O'Connell, Robert L. (Senior Analyst, Senior Analyst, U.S. Army Intelligence Agency Foreign Science and Technological Center)
With provocative insight and wit, this myth-shattering book offers an irreverent history of the modern battleship and its place in American history, from the sinking of the coal-fueled Maine in 1898 to the deployment of the cruise missile-armed Missouri in the Persian Gulf War of 1991. "Breezy, iconoclastic, and readable".--The Observer. Halftone illustrations.
