An alphabetical list of the ships planned and built over a five hundred year period by the RN. It's a wonderful resource, and I'm including Vol. 2, that deals with rented hired captured, and requisitioned vessels as well. No pictures, no diagrams but if you have access to that information from another source, this book has all the rest for the huge number of entries for the sailing navy. Certainly not so good for construction since the 1890's, but there's a lot more stuff on those ships available from other sources such as Janes. There's only information on prizes if you are looking for non-RN entries. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Verwijzingen naar dit werk in externe bronnen. Wikipedia in het Engels (200)The essential work, fully revised up to 2010 . . . This is the fourth fully revised edition of a book first published in 1970. This longevity is testimony to its enduring value as a reference work--indeed, 'Colledge' (as the book is universally known) is still the first stop for anyone wanting more information on any British warship from the 15th century to the present day when only the name is known. Each entry gives concise details of dimensions, armament, and service dates, and its alphabetical and chronological arrangement makes it easy to track down the right ship (otherwise the Royal Navy's tradition of re-using the same names can be misleading). When originally published, the second of the two volumes was devoted to minor fighting ships, and hired and requisitioned vessels. For the 3rd edition, published in one volume, this material was omitted, but for this edition all the genuine fighting ships--like the numbered Coastal Forces craft--have been restored, resulting in a convenient but comprehensive single-volume listing of all significant vessels. AUTHORS Since the death of Jim Colledge, who was widely respected for his pioneering research on the technical details of warships, his magnum opus has been updated, corrected and expanded with similar enthusiasm and attention to detail by Ben Warlow, a retired naval officer and author of a number of books in the field. REVIEWS ".... provides the reader with a historical index of every RN ship to date...... an excellent comprehensive reference tool."Ships Monthly, 07/2010 * Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
