The U.S. Navy today is indisputably the largest and most powerful fleet in the world, boasting impressive aircraft carriers and state-of-the-art cruisers and destroyers. But in many regions - and wars - the fighting was close to the coast and rivers, where the "fat boats" could not be deployed. Therefore, the U.S. Navy developed a wide variety of fast, torpedo, and patrol boats.
In this book, Lutz Kowalzick and Wilhelm M. Donko present all of these U.S. Navy ships by type and class, and describe all units ever classified as such, from World War II through the Korean War to the present.
