Книга на английском языке
Book 1
A Navy ship must be durable and balanced to handle long periods at sea. The hull needs strong shell plating. Areas below the waterline up to the freeboard must resist constant water pressure. Higher up, solid bulwarks are needed to protect the weather deck.
A ship's superstructures must withstand powerful wind and sea spray. A well-maintained mast is especially important to keep safety lights working. Underneath the ship, the propeller powers the ship. Proper maintenance of these screws prevents serious failures at sea.

Book 2
From massive aircraft carriers to small patrol ships, modern navies have a wide range of ships to call upon. Yet regardless of differences in size and missions, all ships can be assessed according to the same general characteristics. How a ship measures in each category determines her primary mission.

Glossary
Book 3
The Navy's primary responsibility is to prepare for combat, but it takes many non-combat personnel to make that happen. Civilians in the Military Sealift Command, or MSC, provide vital support to ensure ships are properly serviced. MSC command ships coordinate important missions that keep Navy ships supplied and ready for combat.
Navy ships are typically away from land for long periods. Since they can only store limited quantities of fuel, food and other supplies, they rely on a division of the MSC, the Naval Fleet Auxiliary Force, to bring replenishments. Tankers called fleet replenishment oilers can refuel ships at sea, while ammunition ships bring new stores of ammunition.
