THE BATTLESHIP WARSPITE (ANATOMY OF THE SHIP)

by Ross Watton

Published by Conway Maritime Press. 1st. 1986

Nearly fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper. 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.

A lovely copy!
