The King George V Class Battleships

This new book collects in one volume the stories of all the British King George V Class battleships: HMS King George V; HMS Prince of Wales; HMS Duke of York; HMS Anson; HMS Howe. The author describes their history in the order in which they entered naval service, devoting great attention to their construction, precisely describing the differences between them. The author also reviews the history of Royal Navy service, the many curiosities in its policy and the people who had a direct influence on the fate of the ships. All the ships are described and illustrated with full technical specifications. Profusely illustrated with scale drawings and colour illustrations, there are also many excellent quality photographs primarily from private collections.
