I believe this is the book, where Mr. Hough, usually a careful researcher confuses the WWI Dreadnought "Jean Bart" , 22,000 tons, 12/12" guns and a speed of 20 knots with the "Jean Bart" of 1940, a ship of 42,806 Tons displacement, 8/15" guns and a speed of 32 knots. It is an irritation in a pretty standard description of this widely studied ship class. There are better books available. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
The battleship era began with the launch of HMS Dreadnought in 1906 and ended when air power became the dominant force. Many battleships remain household names and the losses of the Hood, Bismarck, Yamato and Arizona still echo through the decades because of their fascinating stories.

There is not much new in this book that I hadn’t already come across in previous books, but it is a nicely formed chronological biography of the big gun ships. I think this subject has been well and truly covered now, and although I would happily recommend this tome to someone who is beginning an interest in naval history, for the diehard historian like myself, it is not a necessary purchase.
Still, Richard Hough, as we would expect, has done a great job of researching the various ships and their histories, making the book an interesting refresher.
