Lots of detailed, close up photos of shipboard systems and antennae along with plenty of operational photos of the Ticos in action. There were two distinct versions of the Tico: the first five hulls were equipped with the MK26 twin arm missile launcher fore and aft and the follow on remaining 22 ships which replaced the MK26 with MK41 vertical launching system (VLS). Both variants are covered extensively in this volume.
However what this edition fails to capture is the most recent modification, which removed the SPS-49 air search radar from the ship. It would have made interesting three ship comparison if the centerfold section of color profiles contained this evolution of the class. Nevertheless, this is a worthwhile addition to your reference library.
