4.0
I'm a sucker for anything discussing the history of the Destroyer class of ships and this did not disappoint. There were times where this book became extremely technical and it was hard to follow while it was giving the history of the long journey to what would one day become the WWII Destroyers used by the U.S., Japan, and Germany. Due to this there was times that I felt I had to slough through pages.
However and why I overall am giving this a 4 is that Clint Johnson did a greatbjob telling the story of some of my favorite ships to ever sail under the U.S. flag. Just hearing about the stories from conception of the idea of Destroyers to the end where the proud O'Bannon (DesRon 21) along with 2 other Destroyers led the way to the peace treaty with Japan was enjoyable and highly recommended for anyone that enjoys learning about U.S. History/War History/or ships in general.
