A superbly illustrated new account of how Germany's High Seas Fleet
was built, operated and fought, as it challenged the world's most
powerful navy in World War I. Seven years before the outbreak of
World War I, the Imperial German Navy rebranded its Home Fleet as
the Hochseeflotte, or High Seas Fleet. It was a force designed to
take on the Royal Navy, then the world’s most powerful, and for
the next four years the North Sea would be their battleground.
Drawing on extensive research, Angus Konstam offers the reader a
concise, fully illustrated account of how the entire High Seas
Fleet was designed and built, how it operated, and how it fought.
The fleet was a modern, balanced force of dreadnought battleships,
battlecruisers, cruisers and torpedo boats, using Zeppelins and
U-boats for reconnaissance. The ultimate test between them came in
May 1916, when they clashed at Jutland. Packed with spectacular
original artwork, maps, 3D diagrams and archive photos, it explains
how and why the fleet was built, its role, and how and why it
fought as it did. From fighting doctrine and crew training to
intelligence, logistics, and gunnery, this book is an essential
guide to the Kaiser’s audacious bid for naval glory.
