There are also sections devoted to combat actions involving British battleships and comparisons with battleships of other navies. Six hundred photographs and illustrations, including sixteen fold-out pages, complement the authoritative history of the vessels. 436 pages. 300 photographs. 300 illustrations. Hardcover. 9 x 11 inches.
