Abstract |
"USS Alabama (BB-60) was one of ten new fast battleships the United States commissioned from 1941 to 1944, and thus one of the most technologically advanced and powerful battleships ever to see combat. This volume narrates the story of Alabama's construction, design, functioning, deployments during World War II, crew experiences, commanding officers, and second life as a museum ship"-- Provided by publisher. |
