An interesting book, with reasonable photographs. The introductory essays are quite short, and the armour details extend only to the Battle Line and the Armoured Cruisers. There are no cruising radii, and while many ships are mentioned, there is little coverage of the purpose of the more obscure vessels. ( )

Always nicely arranged and concise. I like this series as the books always have little tidbits and pictures you don't see in the more comprehensive books such as Jane's or Conway's. ( )
