Product Description

Product Description

With the outbreak of World War II, Britain's Royal Navy and her fleet of battleships would be at the forefront of her defence. Yet ten of the twelve battleships were already over twenty years old, having served in World War I, and required extensive modifications to allow them to perform a vital service throughout the six long years of conflict. This title offers a comprehensive review of the seven battleships of the Nelson and King George V classes from their initial commissioning to their peacetime modifications and wartime service. Moreover, with specially commissioned artwork and a dramatic re-telling of key battles, such as the duel between the Bismark and HMS Rodney, this book will highlight what it was like on board for the sailors who risked their lives on the high seas.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value for money, 5 Oct 2009
As with the previous New Vanguard book dealing with The Queen Elizabeth and Royal Sovereign classes, this is a first rate general account of the Nelson and KGV class of Battleships. Details of their building and subsequent wartime service are very well covered. Excellent value for money.

1.0 out of 5 stars British Battleships, 25 Oct 2009
By A. G. Southern (northumberland uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is truly terrible,the inaccuracy is laughable and almost in every paragraph,for example "Rodney and Nelson were the first battleships in the world with triple turrets"Bismarck and her sister ship Scharnhorst" lol,avoid this at all costs.
