Awe-inspiring, the modern aircraft carrier--truly a self-contained city--provides a presence at sea recognized and respected around the world. The Kaufmans have produced a total portrait that highlights the remarkable performances of a large supporting cast--the men and women behind the pilots and ship's officers who make the carrier go. Full-color, full-page photos.

From Booklist:
The Kaufmans, father Yogi and photographer son Steve, give us a splendid look at U.S. Navy supercarriers. The text introduces the history, tactics, and internal organization of these ships, which operate with a crew of about 6,000, and offers comments from crew members ranging from captain to cook. The book's selling point, though, is its magnificent, technically outstanding, well-reproduced photographs--a series of vivid images registering the sheer size and complexity of the supercarriers. Consider it an invaluable acquisition for naval buffs as well as a fine primer on its subject for less-informed browsers. Roland Green
