Famous (or notorious) ships are included, as are some of the less well known, but nonetheless important ships of the war. The book illustrates in colour over 70 ships accompanied by brief details of the vessel. Many photos illustrate vessels in their camouflage schemes. There is an illustrated biography of each ship, describing its design background, armament, armour, and machinery, followed by its wartime history and fate.
