Title: Dissapointing
Product review: I was a little let down by the book. I find the subject matter extreamly interesting. I've always wanted to personally go through a mothball ship yard and explore the vessels. The book really doesn't do it for me. I wanted page after page of descriptions of layed up ships with information on how they were mothballed and being maintained. I did not like the way the book jumps from operational history to lay up. There are plenty of books about WW2 battles I can buy. I wanted to hear more about the process of deactivation and possibly more first hand accounts from the workers involved. I also wanted to know more about the reasons some were kept longer than others and how some were brought back to service. There is not enough info on more modern ships from the post WW2 era and almost nothing on current preserved ships. definatly a keeper but not all that the reviews so far have made it out to be.
