British Battleships of the Victorian Era by Norman Friedman
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 78.8 MB
Overview: This is a companion volume to Friedman’ s highly successful _British Battleship 1906-1946 and completes his study of the Royal Navy’s capital ships. Beginning with the earliest installation of steam machinery in ships of the line, the book traces the technological revolution that saw the introduction of iron hulls, armour plate, shell-firing guns and the eventual abandonment of sail as auxiliary propulsion. This hectic development finally settled down to a widely approved form of pre-dreadnought battleship, built in large numbers and culminating in the King Edward VII class.
