Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ships of the Royal Navy This book is written for those who feel more than a passing interest in what is still out First Line of Defence to whom a ship should be a living entity, something to be recognised and understood With a little of technical knowledge and a memory of what has been and not merely to be regarded as a grey hulk of steel with a name. To those who would seek acquaintance with the Fleet, the present naval literature seems either too technical, or else not sufficiently so - there is no happy medium between the naval annuals and the picture books. For this reason my aim has been to try and steer a middle course and to treat with the various types of ships in a semi-technical way which I hope will be neither too advanced for the ordinary reader, nor too elementary for those with a more critical knowledge.
