This title includes 3 directories for both battleships and cruisers, each focusing on a particular time period: pre-World War I, World War I, then World War II and beyond.

Each section includes a comprehensive history and three chronological directories featuring the major vessels of that era. Containing a huge volume of information, together with a unique collection of more than 1200 colour and black and white archive photographs, this book provides both enthusiasts and historians with everything they will want to know about battleships and cruisers through history.
