One of the most comprehensive accounts on this fascinating subject. Over 430 photographs, with maps and diagrams.
Second part of the series continuing the story showing how many difference experimental designs culminated in one, fleet, and how that fleet, in turn, was superceded by the advent of HMS Dreadnought. Above all the book concentrates on people, men who served, and who fought in various campaigns.
