Cruisers of the U.S. Navy, 1922-1962 ReviewIt's too bad that Cruisers of the U.S. Navy, 1922-1962 is out of print, as this is one of most indispesible modeler's references available. The author is a renowned German naval historian whose speciality is the US Navy(!) and all of his books are meticulously researched.
All the cruisers from the Omaha class to the Long Beach, the first nuclear powered cruiser built (and depending on your viewpoint, the last purpose built cruiser of the US Navy, as the Aegis cruisers were originally designated as destroyers-see Friedman's excellent study) are included. All details, including armament fit, camo schemes worn, electronics, ships careers and final disposition are included.
The photographs included are good for the most part and include enough photos not seen elsewhere. Stefan Terzibaschitsch has one of the largest collections of US Navy photos in Europe and this shows in the book. One useful photo is a camouflaged USS Vincennes (sp?) shortly before her sinking in 1942. All drawings are 1/1250 scale (standard scale for miniature warship models in Europe)but are clear enough for most modelers. One interesting drawing is that of the USS Phoenix in her later guise as the Argentine General Belgrano, which was sunk by the Royal Navy during the Falklands War.Cruisers of the U.S. Navy, 1922-1962 Overview
