The "Anatomy of the Ship" series provides documentation of individual
ships and ship types, accompanied by line drawings with descriptive
keys, technical details and a record of the ship's service history. The
frigate Diana, built in 1793, is typical of many that fought in the
Napoleonic Wars.
The Sailing Navy, 1775-1854 is the first volume in the 5-volume US Navy
Warships encyclopedia set. In a convenient tabular format, important
details are listed for each ship, including the often overlooked,
lesser-known, and smaller vessels. Each entry provides information on
size, date, location of construction, commissioning date and length of
service, and the ship's fate. Combat details include campaigns and
actions fought, damages sustained, casualties, prizes taken, and ships
sunk. Names used before or after naval service are provided.
