The American battleship USS "California" has almost thirty years of
extraordinary history. Commissioned in 1921, it was one of the most
powerful battleships of the US Navy in the interwar period. It was
characterized by an interesting and harmonious silhouette, which changed
significantly several times. During the war, despite its age, the ship
was still modern and heavily armed.
The USS California, known among naval enthusiasts and often chosen by
modelers, became the subject of another study by Witold Koszela, who in
a series of precise drawings recreated the silhouette of this battleship
from the Second World War.
On 24 A4 pages and 2 folded sheets we can find a historical description,
technical data and professional drawings showing the ship in the years
1944-1945, as well as drawings of superstructures, armaments and
details, together with sectional views and color charts.
