In this readable and informative book, John Ballard tells the story of ten of the most significant ships in the Royal Navy, from HMS Victory, Nelson's flagship at Trafalgar, to HMS Invincible, the key ship of the Falklands War. In between there are the stories of a variety of ships that encompass the era of the Royal Navy's global pre-eminence and Pax Britannica, two world wars, the Cold War and the complex post-Cold War era. Each of the ships stands out for its unique contribution to naval history, whether it be the revolutionary design of HMS Warrior, the world's first iron-clad warship, or of HMS Dreadnought, which made every other warship obsolete, the elegance and power of HMS Hood or the derring-do of HMS Amethyst, fighting her way out from the crossfire of the Chinese civil war. All made an impact through wartime service, cutting-edge design that revolutionised naval affairs, versatility or a combination of all three. Accompanied by a wide range of illustrations, this book is a unique insight into 200 years of Royal Navy and British history, seen through the stories of some of its most famous ships.
