About the book
"A handsomely illustrated history of the U.S. Navy's mothball fleet, this book takes a rare look at the so-called fleet behind the fleet, from the end of World War II to the present. Through brief ship histories and photographs of the ships and shipyards where they were laid up, the author tells the story of how these warships were paid off and preserved, how some were reactivated, and how most left the reserve fleet to be broken up. Additional photos of the ships in action remind readers that forgotten though they were while in mothballs, many had made their marks on history."--Jacket.
