In May1941 the German battleship Bismarck, at the time the most formidable fighting ship afloat, escaped into the Atlantic. Her presence there posed a fearful threat to the convoys that kept Britain alive.
The author describes this as not a Naval History, but a History of the British Navy. He looks at the vessels from Round Ship to Battleship, Officers, Men and Managmement, and in the final section Weapons, Tactics and battles. Each section has a further contents page which introduces the differing topics covered. 69 Black and white photos and illustrations
Tracks the Navy’s metamorphosis with dramatic first-person testimonies from those involved in some of the greatest British naval operations of the twentieth century: the Battle of Jutland in 1916 in which Britain lost 5,672 men, the epic campaigns of World War II and into modern times .
