Book Synopsis British Battleships of World War One by : R.A. Burt
Download or read book British Battleships of World War One written by R.A. Burt and published by Seaforth Publishing. This book was released on 2012-10-22 with total page 1060 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic reference on the technical history of British capital ship design and construction during the dreadnought era. A century ago at Jutland, Dogger Bank, Heligoland Bight, and the first battle for the Falklands, mighty squadrons of these great armored ships fought their German counterparts for command of the seas. Beginning with Dreadnought, this 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, armor, 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 modeler, this volume is regarded as an essential reference work for this most significant era in naval history and ship design.
Download or read book HMS Bellerophon written by Colin Pengelly and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2014-04-30 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of HMS Bellerophon is a record of the many and varied duties which the Royal Navy had to carry out in the period 1793 1815. It was involved in the first great fleet action of the War and was involved in the last moments of the struggle with the surrender of Napoleon.The 74-gun ship was the standard unit in the line of battle, Bellerophon was one of the most distinguished with a fine fighting record. Having fought at 'The Glorious First of June'; the battle of the Nile and at Trafalgar the ship saw more than her share of fierce ship-to-ship encounters. In between there were the varying duties of blockade and escort carried out with service in the Channel, the Mediterranean, the North Sea, the Baltic and the West Indies. The ship saw every type of service which fell to the Navy in that period.All the many and various aspects of the ship's life are covered from construction through maintenance and refits to final disposal. Sadly the ship could not be been saved like Victory and the ship and her fine record were confined to the history books.
Book Synopsis British Battleships 1914–18 (1) by : Angus Konstam
Download or read book British Battleships 1914–18 (1) written by Angus Konstam and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-05-20 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The launch of HMS Dreadnought in 1906 changed the face of naval warfare. The first half-dozen dreadnoughts were all improvements of the basic Dreadnought design, all carrying ten 12-inch guns. It was only in 1911, with the launch of HMS Neptune that the layout of this powerful armament was altered as a result of practical experience. Two more versions of the Neptune entered service later that same year. These nine improved dreadnoughts formed the core of the British High Seas Fleet. They would soon, however, be outclassed by a new breed of “super dreadnoughts”, the subject of the second volume in this two-part story. While these new battleships carried larger 13.5-inch guns, they proved less successful as all-round battleships than their more lightly-armed predecessors. One last 12-inch gun dreadnought entered service in 1914, when a seven turret battleship being built for the Turks was commandeered by the Royal Navy, and re-named HMS Agincourt. This New Vanguard title, the first of two covering these famous warships will uncover the full story of the British battleships of World War I. The book will look at their revolutionary design, the 12-inch guns that provided them with their firepower, and the way these guns were fired in anger.
Book Synopsis British Battleships 1889-1904 by : R A Burt
Download or read book British Battleships 1889-1904 written by R A Burt and published by Seaforth Publishing. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings to completion the reissue of R A Burt's magnificent bestselling three-volume history of British battleships, and it covers the pre-dreadnought era which has, in recent years, acquired a new and fervent following.??The Russian war scare of 1884 and the public's anxiety about the Royal Navy's ability to fight a modern war at sea resulted in the Naval Defence Act of 1889 and a vast programme of warship construction. Over the next twenty years a fleet of 52 battleships was built, construction finally interrupted by the revolutionary Dreadnought design. In this new volume, the author presents full details of design and construction, armament, protection, machinery and performance, all backed up with accurate data tables listing design figures, trials results, and full particulars at different stages in the ships' careers. The history of each battleship is chronicled and the reader is reminded of their major contribution in the First World War. They bore the brunt of the action at the Dardenelles, bombarded the Belgium coast, patrolled the North Sea and the Channel, reinforced the Italian Fleet, and served in East Africa, the East Indies and the White Sea. Most were extensively modified during the War and this variety has made them of special interest to the historian, enthusiast and ship modeller.??With the addition of many new photographs from the author's massive collection, this new edition is simply a 'must-have' addition to every naval library.

Download or read book H.M.S. Rodney written by Iain Ballantyne and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2008-07-15 with total page 821 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The biography of a British battleship, from an author with “a facility for rendering nonfiction into a narrative as brisk and readable as a novel” (HistoryNet). The Second World War battleship HMS Rodney achieved lasting fame for her role in destroying the pride of Hitler’s navy, the mighty Bismarck, in a thrilling duel. The Rodney, carrying the largest guns ever mounted in a British warship, finally succeeded in turning her adversary into twisted metal and so removed a major threat to the Atlantic convoy routes so vital to the survival of the nation. This compelling book, from the acclaimed author of Killing the Bismarck, not only traces this mighty battleship’s career in detail, but describes the careers of all the ships carrying the name.
