This booklet presents the American destroyer U.S.S. "Stevens" (DD-479) from the World War II era in great detail. The ship belonged to the destroyers of the "Fletcher" class. The first nine pages contain information on the development history, armament, construction and technology of this warship. This is followed by the extensive picture section, which depicts practically every part of this destroyer on approx. 60-70 colour pages with the help of three-dimensional graphics. No detail is forgotten, and the reader gets an excellent impression of the appearance of this "workhorse" of the U.S. Navy in World War II. A real treasure trove for model builders and ship enthusiasts.
