Are you a military veteran, history buff, or just curious about America's maritime history? The Fyddeye Guide to America's Veteran Warships is the perfect way to explore more than 500 ships and small craft that played a role in the defense and development of the United States. You'll discover US Navy capital ships, such as aircraft carriers and battleships, that fought fascism on two oceans and preserved our freedoms. US Coast Guard vessels performed rescues, enforced the law, and warned mariners from dangerous shoals. The country's collection of tall ships preserve maritime skills and culture.
