This superb reference book achieved the status of classic soon after its
first publication in 1986; it was soon out of print and is now one of
the most sought-after naval reference books on the secondhand market. It
presents, in one superb volume, the complete technical history of
British capital ship design and construction during the dreadnought era.
A delight for the historian, enthusiast and ship modeller, it is a
volume that is already regarded as an essential reference work for this
most significant era in naval history and ship design.
