USS Alabama (BB60) (Leeward Publications / Ship's Data, No. 2)

The USS Alabama (BB60) was the fourth ship of the United States Navy to bear that name, over a period of a century. A giant when compared to her predecessors, she weighted three times as much as all the others put together. Her naval career was short--less than five years-- but in that time she steamed far enough to have circle the globe seven times at the equator. This book is filled with photographs and informative detail about this historic ship.
