They are floating cities with crews of thousands. They are the linchpins of any military strategy, for they provide what has become the key to every battle fought since World War I: air superiority. The mere presence of a U.S. naval carrier in a region is an automatic display of strength that sends a message no potential enemy can ignore. Now, Tom Clancy welcomes you aboard for a detailed look at how these floating behemoths function. With his trademark style and eye for detail, Clancy brings you naval combat strategy like no one else can. Carrier includes: * Takeoffs and landings: flying into the danger zone
* The aircraft onboard: their range, their power, their weaponry
* The role of the carrier in modern naval warfare
* Exclusive photographs, illustrations and diagrams
Plus: An interview with the U.S. Navy's Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Jay Johnson

Wanted a mass market edition and got a trade book instead.
That's okay, but with a trade book I expected illustrations, especially photographs, to be larger so a person could get a fuller image. The glossary is seriously lame. Easily half the aircraft, naval and armament terms in the text which the average reader is unfamiliar with do not appear in the glossary. This required a manual word-search through the text to remind oneself of a technical meaning when one touched upon the subject again later in the book.
On the upside, one acquired a good idea of the construction, workings, personnel, methods, complexity, scale and international political clout of an aircraft carrier including a story line of an exercise at sea with its operational effects far inland.
In short, a hard to use book, but a good read.

One word: detailed. I needed information about the Nimitz class I couldn't find online. A ten minute scan starting with the table of contents and I was set. Clansy is king when it comes to this kind of material. It gave me the necessary knowledge and terminology necessary to ask the right questions of those individuals who rode carriers for a living.

Not up to the level of "Submarine" . A lot of acronyms that need to be kept near when reading.

Although it was written 20 years ago, it is still very pertinent today. I have personal knowledge about the Naval Aviation sections and they are spot on!
