Illustrated endpapers. Footnotes. Illustrations. This first edition is increasing scarce and highly sought after. The contents include Foreword by Admiral Arleigh Burke; Preface by Rear Admiral E. M Eller U.S.N. Ret. Director of Naval History; Bibliography. Abbreviations List of Ships; Appendices Battleships Cruisers Submarines Submarine Tenders Submarine Rescue Vessel Torpedo Boasts and Destroyers and Escort Vessels. This original edition depicts each ship in its historical setting. The Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships DANFS is the official reference work for the basic facts about ships used by the United States Navy. When the writing project was developed the parameters for this series were designed to cover only commissioned US Navy ships with assigned names. If the ship was not assigned a name it was not included in the histories written for the series. In addition to the ship entries DANFS and the online links have been expanded to include appendices on small craft histories of Confederate Navy ships and various essays related to naval ships. The Ships histories were edited by James G. Boland and K. Jack Bauer. The appendices were compiled by Lieutenant Dean C. Allard Jr. aided by Captain F. Kent Lewis Commander Richard C. Johnson and Mr. Loyd A. Olsson. The Histories Branch researched and wrote the multi volume Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships. Compiled like an encyclopedia each volume includes summary histories of U.S. Navy ships from certain sections of the alphabet. DANFS was published by the Naval Historical Center NHC as bound hardcover volumes ordered by ship name from Volume I A–B in 1959 to Volume VIII W–Z in 1981. Several volumes subsequently went out of print. In 1991 a revised Volume I Part A covering only ship names beginning with A was released. Work continues on revisions of the remaining volumes. As the DANFS is a work of the U.S. government its content is in the public domain and the text is often quoted verbatim in other works. Many resources organized by former and active crew members of U.S. Navy vessels include a copy of their ships' DANFS entries. The Dictionary limits itself largely to basic descriptions and brief operational notes and includes almost no analysis or historical context. Unless otherwise specified all the ships illustrated in this volume are commission ships of the United States Navy with their names preceded by the Identification USS. U. S.
