This monograph covers the Japanese WW2 battleships of the Kongo class on its first 136 pages and in the rest of pages the Unryu class aircraft carriers. Both classes are shown in contemporary photographs and their history and technical specifications are explained. Especially for the first class mentioned above dozens of detail drawings show the superstructure development. The superstructure of the carriers is only shown in a few illustrations, but 6 pages with detailed excerpts from original line drawings show the class of carriers divided in its longitudinal- and lateral sections as well as its decks. 188 pages, hardback, fold-out (1 x B2) of the BC Kongo with its longitudinal and lateral sections as well as all decks, 127 contemporary photographs, 232 drawings, NO colour profiles included.
