<p>On the successful completion of the War of Independence, the American navy was disbanded, and it was not until the late 1790s that a regular naval force was reconstituted. Provoked by the need to protect American merchant shipping from the belligerent European nations and the piratical Barbary powers, Congress decided on a programme of frigate building, which included the 32-gun frigate Essex. Designed by William Hackett, Essex was a typical medium frigate of her time. Working from both US and British sources, the author has reconstructed many previously undetermined details of the ship and in passing has rehabilitated the reputation of the designer as one who was responsible for one of the best balanced of that generation's frigates.</p>

The Anatomy of the Ship series presents precisely executed line drawings of ships and ship types, both the three-view type of plan as well as perspective views, with descriptive keys. An introductory essay and a chronology explain the ship's history and its place in history as well as its design. A section of photos is followed by the meticulously prepared drawings. The inside of the jacket displays a 1/144 scale fold-out plan. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
