International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. Since the dawn of history men have fought for supremacy on the sea, and the evolution of the man-of war as an efficient fighting machine forms one of the most absorbing aspects of human achievement. In a book that is both decorative and informative, the authors trace the history of the man-of-war from its earliest known appearance as the oared galley of the Mediterranean to the nuclear submarine of the present day. This book is illustrated with over two hundred and thirty plates, drawings and plans taken from contemporary paintings, woodcuts and photographs. The full page plans show the most important milestones in the development of the man-of-war, and great care has been taken to ensure that they are both attractive and technically accurate. This is a valuable reference book for the professional, but it will also provide much enjoyment for those who know the fascination of ships and the sea. Ref BBB 1. Seller Inventory # 034435
