This superb reference book achieved the status of classic soon
after its first publication in 1986; it remains the most popular
book on this era of battleship development. It presents, in one
superb volume, the complete technical history of British capital
ship design and construction during the dreadnought era. One
hundred years ago at Jutland, Dogger Bank, Heligoland Bight and the
first battle for the Falklands, mighty squadrons of these great
armoured ships fought their German counterparts for command of the
seas. Beginning with _Dreadnought_, the book continues to the end
of the First World War, and all of the fifty dreadnoughts,
super-dreadnoughts and battlecruisers that served the Royal Navy
during this era are described and superbly illustrated with
photographs and line drawings. Each class of ship is described in
detail so that design origins, and technical and operational
factors, are discussed alongside characteristics, with special
emphasis on armament, armour and machinery. Fully detailed data
tables are included for every class, and more than 500 photographs
and line drawings illustrate the text. 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, and this new softcover
edition will delight a new generation of readers. **'As a reference
work he has produced a volume that is destined to be the standard
for the subject.' **_International Journal of Maritime History_
