I purchased this as a gift for my father, a former naval officer, andhe was touched. The book cover looks stunning, very elegant. THe book itself is very large, but it should be, it wouldn't be the same if so much as a page was left out. The pictures are stunning. The book contains a thorough history of the U.S. Navy, and has many sidebar articles on interesting historical tidbits. I cannot say enough about the pictures. Many, many ships are represented, along with famous and not so famous battles, events, and people important to the U.S. Naval history. This is a great gift for any Navy afficionado.
