Sunken Ships of World War II is truly one of the greatest compendiums of naval history that has ever been put together.
Not only does it give an exhaustive chronology of events and actions of the United States Navy, it also contains listings of the Allies (American and English) and of the Axis (Japanese, German and Italian) naval losses wherever they took place.
