About this title

Synopsis

Having completed the highly prestigious assignment of commanding HMS Hood, then the most famous warship in the world, Captain Rory O'Conor brought together his experiences to create the ultimate officers' guide for running a steel fighting ship. First published in 1937, and now with an extensive introduction by one of the foremost historians of the Royal Navy, Brian Lavery, Running a Big Ship provides a truly unique insight into life at sea during World War II.

BRIAN LAVERY, author of several books, including The Last Big Gun, a biography of the career of HMS Belfast, is one of Britain’s leading naval historians and a prolific author.
