Arguably one of the finest capital ship designs of all time, Warspite and her sister-ships were the prototypes of the modern fast battleship, the ultimate development of the dreadnought type. This volume features a complete anatomy of the ship in words, photographs and drawings. Oblong format. Grey cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos and drawings. 120 pages. ISBN: 0851774121. A lovely copy!
