In addition to the above, the CD covers a variety of Corvettes, Frigates, Merchant Ships, Sloops, and Submarines. The photos are high resolution many over 3000 pixels wide.

As with the Somers Class release (reviewed here), this CD-ROM is menu-driven and displayed on your web browser to allow you to navigate through the informative pages and view the high-resolution content. If you're a naval historian and/or naval modeler, you'll find lots of material here that you won't see in such clear resolution in print.

This title is recommended!
