Low information density. Buy it for the pictures.

Fletcher-Class Destroyers by Alan Raven Forty three pages of pictures. Eighty pages of drawings. Six pages on paint schemes and camouflage. Only thirteen pages of prose. I would have liked more information. I would have thought that such a book would include details about magazine capacity and shell types. I looked for and did not find the number of depth charges carried, although I was able to count them in some of the pictures. Alan Raven is a great writer on the subject of World War Two naval ships, but this was a perfunctory effort. There is almost nothing on details, deployments, survivability, combat, operations, tactics or significant actions. Whether I can recommend this book depends on the price. I bought an inexpensive used copy and consider it good value for what I paid.
