A complete anatomy of the ship in words, photographs and drawings.

USS England won a unique place in naval history by sinking six Japanese submarines inside a period of two weeks during May 1944. However, the ship also belonged to one of the largest classes of major warship ever built -over 500 saw service in both the United States Navy and the Royal Navy (as the Lend-Lease 'Captains' class).

This volume features:
- Full description of the design, including class varaiations, data on the weapons and a career history
- Pictorial section emphasizing close-up and on board photographs
- Colour guide and action painting on jacket
- Over 200 perspective and 3-view drawings, with in-depth descriptive keys, of every detail of the ship - general arrangements, hull construction, machinery, superstrucutre, armament and fittings.
