2nd Edition. Appears unread. In protective mylar cover. Books have immortalized Japan's super-battleships Yamato and Musashi, but the top-secret conversion to an aircraft carrier of a bigger sister ship, Shinano, has remained part naval legend, part military secret. Even after this huge mystery carrier was sunk on her first night at sea by Captain Enright's submarine Archer-Fish, U.S. intelligence questioned Shinano's existence. Seller Inventory # 3-3-1408
