Title: off target
Product review: This book is not about the so-called mothball fleets per se. Instead it is a somewhat morose homage to selected US naval vessels from World War Two that seems to imply something better should have happened to each of them.There is virtually no explanation of why these vessels were collected, how the process was carried out and what were the outcomes. There are a few - very few - good pictures showing the various ship collections from its heyday in the 1950s and 1960s. Overall, one is left with the impression that the book is the output of a google/wikipedia search.
