Development of British Warships 1860-1906: A Photographic Record
Year: 2009 Language: English Author: Nicholas J. Dingle Genre: History of the Navy Publisher: Pen & Sword Format: ePUB Quality: eBook Pages count: 290 Description: Illustrated with 200 official admiralty photographs, many of them previously unpublished, this book traces the development of Royal Naval ship design in a period of immense change. Opening with the Crimean War, this period saw the gradual transition from sail to steam and screw propulsion; from wood to steel construction; from fixed broadside armaments of bronze muzzle-loaders to turret-mounted steel breech-loaders and torpedoes. The period covered in this volume closes with the launch of HMS Dreadnought, which overnight rendered all existing ships obsolete and signalled the start in earnest of the Anglo-German naval arms race which contributed to the outbreak of WW1.
