The variety of ships featured are representative of the many types of classes of ship involved in WW2. The first part illlustrates in colour 71 different ships accompanied by brief details of the vessel concerned, and importantly, many of the pictures show the ships in their camouflage schemes. The second part gives a biography of each of the 71 ships illustrated, describing the ship’s design background, its armament, armour, machinery, and salient features, followed by its wartime history and fate. Further chapters deal with wartime colour schemes, and schematic camouflage patterns (line drawings).
