Navy

By Jeanne Nagle

In 1898, the U.S. Navy became well known as a superpower after defeating the Spanish Armada during the Spanish-American War. During World War II, US battleships in the South Pacific were an awe-inspiring sight. Today, the U.S. Navy continues to display its nautical strength all over the world. They've even helped to capture modern-day pirates off the coasts of Africa and the Middle East. Readers will be amazed by the historic naval images, as well as modern photographs of the massive navy ships that patrol Earth's oceans and keep U.S. citizens safe.
