Resumen del Editor

Underwater exploration is increasingly discovering long-lost warships from the deepest parts of the ocean, revealing a vast undersea museum that speaks to battles won and lost, service, sacrifice, and the human costs of warfare.

War at Sea is a dramatic global tour of this remote museum and other formerly lost traces of humanity's naval heritage. It is also an account by the world's leading naval archaeologist of how underwater exploration has discovered these remains, thus resolving mysteries, adding to our understanding of the past, and providing intimate details of the experience of naval warfare.

James Delgado, who has personally explored, dived, and studied a number of the wrecks and sites in the book, provides insights as an explorer, archaeologist, and storyteller. The result is a unique and compelling history of naval warfare. From fallen triremes and galleons to dreadnoughts, aircraft carriers, and nuclear submarines, this book vividly brings thousands of years of naval warfare to life.

Where are the ships?

On the ocean’s floor the remains of ships have been explored using more advanced technological methods. An ocean archeologist writes about what is found and retrieval when appropriate. Stories are factual, replete with details and sad. A more informed understanding of America’s wars,especially WW II, emerges as you listen.&

just not my cup of tea. great book however.

more about archaeology than tactics and 20th century classes. good book if you like ancient times
