Inhoud:

With the advent of the atomic bomb and its impact on strategic thinking, policy makers believed that future wars would be fought with nuclear weapons delivered by land-based aircraft. This book traces the struggle of the naval leaders to promote a different vision, which resulted in the innovations in the design and engineering of the carriers.
