{"product_id":"fubuki-class-destroyers-lars-ahlberg-9780764362873","title":"Fubuki-Class Destroyers: In the Imperial Japanese Navy During World War II","description":"The World War II-era destroyers of the Japanese Fubuki class were the first of a type sometimes referred to as \"super destroyers.\" These destroyers were extremely large and heavily armed with guns and torpedoes. Ironically, the IJN was pushed to create heavier destroyers by the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty, which discouraged the construction of new capital ships. Particular emphasis was placed on ships that were important for the night battle preceding the \"decisive battle.\" Thereby the stage was prepared for the Fubuki class. \u003cp\u003eThis book presents: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe history of their design, construction, and combat history\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOriginal Japanese war-era source material, including numerous diagrams and photos.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe coauthors are recognized authorities in the study of the IJN in WWII\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Fubuki class introduced a new standard for Japanese destroyers, a standard followed by almost all Japanese destroyers designed afterward.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lars Ahlberg, Hans Lengerer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0764362879\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780764362873\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Schiffer Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 9.20w x 0.70d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lars Ahlberg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44042903388415,"sku":"9780764362873","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_76945867-5fe8-479e-965c-371001ba9a81.jpg?v=1684964182","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fubuki-class-destroyers-lars-ahlberg-9780764362873","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
