Table Of ContentIntroduction The battleship USS Iowa (BB-61) - Technical description History of the battleship USS Iowa (BB-61) Primary Views The drawings Bibliography
SynopsisA brilliantly detailed visual representation of one of the greatest US warships, the USS Iowa , whose four decades in service took her from the Pacific War in World War II to the Persian Gulf in the late 1980s., A brilliantly detailed visual representation of one of the greatest US warships, the USS Iowa , whose four decades in service took her from the Pacific War in World War II to the Persian Gulf in the late 1980s. USS Iowa (BB-61) was the lead ship in one of the most famous classes of battleships ever commissioned into the US Navy. Transferred to the Pacific Fleet in 1944, the Iowa first fired her guns in anger in the Marshall Islands campaign, and sank her first enemy ship, the Katori . The Iowa went on to serve across a number of pivotal Pacific War campaigns, including at the battles of the Philippine Sea and Leyte Gulf. It ended the war spending several months bombarding the Japanese Home Islands before the surrender in August 1945. After taking part in the Korea War, the Iowa was decommissioned in 1958, before being briefly reactivated in the 1980s as part of President Reagan's 600-Ship Navy Plan. After being decommissioned a second and final time in 1990, the Iowa is now a museum ship in Los Angeles. This new addition to the Anatomy of the Ship series is illustrated with contemporary photographs, scaled plans of the ship and hundreds of superb 3D illustrations which bring every detail of this historic battleship to life.

An appropriate title for this book.
This is an outstanding reference for battleship USS Iowa. For the naval historian or the ship model builder it has left no stone unturned as to the appearance of the ship during various stages of its existance. It will be my source for building a 1/350 scale model of her 1944 appearance as well as another in her 1980's appearance. I have only two criticism: 1: The United States Navy does not refer to the guns aboard its ships as "Artillery". This is an incorrect term that has slipped into recent naval publications, mostly from Polish sources such as this one. The USN has always refered to guns as "Gunnery". 2: The camouflage paint colors are innacurate and inconsistant for her 1944 camouflage. She was painted in Navy Blue 5n and Light Grey 5L in the dazzle scheme. Color renditions show her in Haze Grey 5H which in wartime was more bluish than grey and darker than 5L, and the cover artwork as well as one of two depictions of this scheme show her in a dark grey in lieu of the blue 5N. For a technical book which does a good job otherwise these are important points which need to be noted for the new reader of this book. Still a highly recommended book and a good value for anyone seriously interested in this ship.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Excellent visual source for General and detail-oriented ww2 warhship enthusiasts
Excellent source of information about the ship across its entire lifespan. Tons of high quality line drawings and highly detailed 3d renderings supported by photographs, text, and several data tables. The book feels good to hold. The author has included drawings of as many details of the ship as the limited page count would allow, from full-ship profiles down to the intricate gun systems and various deck sundries such as hatches, fans, ammo boxes and more. I certainly recommend the book for anyone interested in this specific ship, the class of ships, or the WW2 united states navy in general, seeing as how much of the depicted equipment can be found on multiple classes and types of ships.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
