About this product

Product Information

In Bath, Maine, the birthplace of American shipbuilding, the century-old Bath Iron Works shipyard has been building--largely by hand and with a good dose of tradition--some of the finest, deadliest ships in the U.S. Navy. Accompanied by mounting competition and a pressing need to modernize, the yard faces the year 2000 with changes great and small, most notably in the way it launches ships. No longer will the great gray leviathans roar down the "ways"--the traditional inclined ramp--into the Kennebec River; this ancient technology will give way to the modern dry dock.

The book came exactly as the photos were shown. On top of that the seller was nice to offer a discount, and I happily purchased that book. The book arrived quickly in three days and it was nicely packaged and nicely wrapped to ensure it arrived without the dings of shipping. This out of print book was a terrific find, and a good seller too.
