Renowned Naval Author and Photographer Philip Kaplan illustrates with Archival images the development and history of the class of warship known as the Battleship - from its earliest days of the Dreadnought through to the Super Battleships of The Second World War and beyond. All the major naval engagements Battleships have participated in are covered from The Battle Of Tsushima in 1905 right upto their most recent use in in the 1990s during The Gulf War, as are all the major classes and warships of the Four main 'Battleship Powers' (British and Commonwealth, Germany, Japan, and America). Some of the Naval Warships examined inside the text and photographs include; KMS Scharnhorst (1939-43), KMS Gneisenau (1938-42), KMS Bismarck (1940-41), KMS Tirpitz (1941-44), HMS Warspite (1915-45), HMS Dreadnought (1906-19), HMS King George V (1940-49), HMS Vanguard (1910-17), HMS Hood (1920-41), IJNS Fuji (1897-1923), IJNS Mikasa (1902-23), IJNS Fuso (1915-45), IJNS Yamato (1941-45), USS Arizona (1916-41), USS Missouri (1944-55 & 1986-92), USS West Virginia (1923-47) and USS Oklahoma (1916-41). As well as covering the machinery and equipment that helped to make the Battleship such an awesome force to be reckoned with, Philip Kaplan also examines the men and women who designed, constructed, sailed and commanded these 'Grey Castles' in war and peace until they were finally rendered obsolete by their own long-term adversaries - Submerged Warfare and Air Power.
