| Opplysninger | "This comprehensive account of the victories and losses in the naval battles of World War II follows the six major navies of the war-the Allied navies of Britain, France, and the United States and the Axis navies of Germany, Italy, and Japan-and charts the huge transformation in the technologies and tactics that took place throughout the war. Paul Kennedy shows how the big-gunned surface vessels, battleships, and cruisers that had previously defined naval might disappeared and were replaced by newer weaponry like aircrafts and submarines.
