The On Deck series is about the details of specific military equipment using colour and black-and-white archival photographs and photographs of in-service, preserved and restored equipment. Illustrated with more than 300 photographs, plus colour profiles and detailed line drawings
Since this is a currently active ship, all of the photographs are in full color and have been gleaned from US Navy and Northrop/Grumman (the ship builder) archives. The quality of the images is first rate with generally three or four images per page with captions.

There is a short background history and then the rest of the book is photographs. This covers the construction of the ship, the major external features, some of the internal areas of the ship, and, of course, many images of the aircraft that these ships have carried over the years.
