Ahoy mates!

Osprey Publishing stopped by the news room to show off the first of their two new titles from the days of sail. Take a trip back in time with the birth of the US Navy with this New Vanguard book. Check it out.

Nice looking book. Will make a good companion to my book on the Essex.

Thanks for the heads up!

Great!!! This could potentially be a good companion to the books I already have on the American frigates. Weren't the 44-gun Constitution, President and United States considered to be heavy frigates? Nit picky, I guess. Have you seen a preview? Can you give any hints on what's in the book? I'm particularly interested in Constellation.

Thanks!
