5.0 out of 5 stars HMS Warspite - a seaman's view, 24 April 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The "Warspite": The Fighting Life of the Royal Navy's Bravest Battleship (Warships of the Royal Navy) (Hardcover)

I have read this book with great interest and was very impressed with the way that the thoughts and views of ordinary seaman were reflected. From snippets like the casual dress code aboard, which shocked officers and men from smaller ships and the tale of the young east-ender and his �1 note wrapped in a Durex to preserve his cash if he went overboard. It gets into the very soul of the men aboard and what made them such a formidable fighting force. I am also glad that it states unequivacally that HMS Warspite was the first ship to open fire at the Normandy landings. My father served aboard at the time and had always insisted that this was the case. He was also rightly proud of the ship's gunnery achievements which are catalogued in the book. The book also has many illustrations that have been culled from the albums of HMS Warspite's serving officers and men. In summary the book offers a thrilling insight into perhaps the most illustrious warship of all time.
