Authoritative study of the battleship in World War II Stirring
episodes of naval combat Covers the famous chase after the
"Bismarck/i>, the sinking of the "Scharnhorst," the coastal
bombardments on D-Day, and other actions
Although naval development before World War II focused on
aircraft carriers, the British nevertheless had seventy
battleships--larger and more powerful than ever before--under
construction at the outbreak of the war. Indeed, one of the Allies'
first successes came in December 1939 when British ships hunted
down and successfully engaged the German "Graf Spee" off the coast
of South America. The war would hasten the battleship's decline,
but not before producing dramatic moments at sea.
