Battleships of the US Navy 1.0 Released

MultiEducator has introduced Battleships of the US Navy 1.0 for the iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. Third in their "History on the Go" series of iPhone apps, it features more than 260 high-resolution photos which can be zoomed in to examine in minute detail on the iPad. Besides an authoritative history of battleships, the app includes complete specs on all 22 classes, commissioned between 1895 and 1944. A total of 64 ships are listed with histories and hi-res photos, all now in the public domain.

Calling on their 20+ years experience as publishers of multimedia educational materials, Battleships of the US Navy is well designed and executed. The contents page includes a search field, an overview chapter, then 64 chapter listings which can be easily scrolled. Tapping on a particular ship, for example "USS New Jersey BB-62", brings up another scrolling listing of an introductory article (5,000 words or more), and 7 different photos.

Each hi-res photo has an optional caption that describes the circumstances under which the photo was captured, for example, "USS New Jersey 1983 - An aerial starboard bow view of the battleship USS New Jersey (BB 62) prior to conducting Harpoon missile tests on the Pacific Missile Test Center (PMTC) range. Its 16-inch guns are turned to port on March 23, 1983."
