Replete with original insights, the story that emerges will enlighten and surprise even the most knowledgeable.
The attraction of the book is enhanced by sets of specially commissioned plans of the important classes by John Roberts and A D Baker III, both renowned experts in their own right, plus a colour section featuring the original Admiralty draughts, including a spectacular double gatefold.
For many with an interest in warships, this will be the book of the year.
