A massively detailed study of fighting ships of all nations from the advent of sailing warships in ancient times to the Middle ages and Elizabethan eras, and the development of the multi-gun Man of War. The sailing battleship gave way to the steam powered ironclad and the outbreak of global wars spurred the development of aircraft carriers and submarines. This book contains authoritative text and a vast range of colour and black and white illustrations of all types of capital ships from the world's navies. Additional shipping charges may apply.
