The British Battle Fleet. Its inception and growth throughout the centuries to the present day. by Fred T. Jane
Great detail of the various ships, the illustration / plans are a great help too but what else would you expect from the founder of "Janes Ships". Trully a very useful reference work, alas I only have the second volume.
JANE'S FIGHTING SHIPS 1914: A Reprint of the 1914 Edition of Fighting Ships Edited By Fred T. Jane; Including a Chapter on the Progress of Marine Engineering By Charles De Grave Sells by Fred T. Jane
From the jacket:
'This is a facsimile copy of the seventeenth issue of Jane. The 1914 issue is an obvious choice for reprinting: here are drawn up the navies that were to change the course of history and themselves be changed out of recognition.'
I cannot really add to that. What can one say about Jane's that has not already been said?
