Aprašymas
The battleships of the King George V-class represented the Royal Navy's response to the challenges of interwar naval treaties and the emerging threats which led to the outbreak of the Second World War. Though regarded by some as the worst of the new generation of battleships, the ships of this class were involved in some of the most renowned and pivotal operations of the Second World War including the pursuit and sinking of the Bismarck and the sinking of the Scharnhorst. They also took part on the Arctic convoys and were present at the surrender of Japan.
In this unique work, historian Daniel Knowles dissects the battleships of the King George V-class, providing an in-depth overview and analysis of their key characteristics and components. This is a richly illustrated technical deep dive into the most modern class of British battleships to be commissioned into service in the Second World War.
