For over four centuries, the formidable battleship has held the esteemed title of the ultimate naval warfare machine. It transcended its role as a mere instrument of war, becoming a tangible representation of a nation's strength, affluence, and prestige. Battleships showcases a collection of 52 of the most remarkable warships to have graced the seas in the past 500 years. The journey begins with the legendary Henry Grace à Dieu, the flagship of English king Henry VII, and proceeds through various epochs of battleship development, encompassing the magnificent sail ships like Sovereign of the Seas, Santissima Trinidad, and Victory. The advent of steam-powered warships takes center stage, commencing with the introduction of Gloire in 1859 and continuing through notable pre-Dreadnoughts such as Inflexible, Maine, and Tsessarevitch. Extensive coverage is provided for the iconic battleships of both world wars, including the formidable Derfflinger, Yamato, and Iowa. The book concludes with the commissioning of Vanguard, the last new battleship, in 1946. Each entry in Battleships offers a concise yet comprehensive description of the battleship's development and history, accompanied by vibrant color profile artwork, key features, and specifications. With an abundance of over 200 artworks and photographs, Battleships serves as a captivating guide for military historians and enthusiasts of naval warfare.
