Description:

Built during World War II, the Shinano was, and remains to this day, one of the most remarkable war vessels ever constructed. At a displacement weight of over 75,000 tons, she was the biggest ship ever built to that time, with 18" guns that could hurl 4,000 pound projectiles over 25 miles. A battleship-converted-to-carrier, the Shinano was a military marvel that the Japanese hoped would reverse the war fortunes of an entire nation. On her maiden voyage she was escorted by three battle-savvy destroyers and manned by a crew of thousands. Who could have ever foretold that she would sink within days of leaving drydock?

Rated it: it was ok Shelves: world-war-two-history The is not the sub book you're looking for. One chase; one shot; one sinking. It's not enough for a book. Richard O'Kane's book "Clear the Bridge" is much more interesting. 1 like
