Summary
"For more than a century, the U.S. Navy's battleships, cruisers, destroyers, submarines and amphibious warfare vessels have depended on a small group of specialized auxiliary ships to provide fuel, food, ammunition, parts and other material support and services. This book provides the rosters, histories, specifications and illustrations of 130 different auxiliary ship types used throughout U.S. history"--
