British Battleships of World War Two: The Development and Technical History of the Royal Navy's Battleships and Battlecruisers from 1911 to 1946

This is THE definitive work on British battleships during WWII and head and shoulders above many other comparative volumes published by other experts. It offers excellent historical details about alterations to each ship, their careers, and includes a large number of photos and line drawings that are also essential for modellers. I have studied the subject of naval warfare for several decades now and can honestly say I have never come across a better work covering the ships of WWII. The only real drawback to this book is its rarity – and price too if you wish to own a copy.

If you only buy one book on British battleships in WWII, this should be it, for modeller and historian alike.

Excellent pictures and diagrams, plus much text.
