Durch den Einsatz in der Nähe ihrer verschiedenen Stützpunkte wurden sie zu einer verheerend wirksamen Waffe in fast allen Kriegsschauplätzen der Kriegsmarine, von der Ostsee über das Mittelmeer bis zum Schwarzen Meer. Ihre größten Erfolge erzielten sie jedoch im Ärmelkanal, wo sie etwa vierzig Kriegsschiffe und mehr als hundert Handelsschiffe zerstörten. Neben Abfang- und Angriffsaufgaben wurden sie auch zum Minenlegen, zur Landung von Sabotagetruppen und für allgemeine Begleitaufgaben eingesetzt. Bis zur Veröffentlichung dieses Buches gab es keine umfassende Einsatzgeschichte des S-Boot-Dienstes in allen Einsatzgebieten, aber aufgrund der relativ geringen Anzahl von Einheiten ist es möglich, die Aufgaben und Schicksale jeder einzelnen Einheit zu schildern individuelles Handwerk und in diesem Buch untersucht der Autor den Werdegang jedes Einzelnen im Detail. Darüber hinaus werden Einsätze an der Seite der Kommandoverbände der Kleinkampfverbände abgedeckt. Im Verlauf des Krieges litten die Schnellboote unter der zunehmenden Beherrschung der Meere und des Luftraums durch die Alliierten, waren aber bis zum Ende ein gefährlicher Gegner. Dieses schöne Buch war das erste, das ihrer Erfolgsbilanz voll und ganz gerecht wurde, und bleibt das wichtigste Werk über ihre Einsatzgeschichte ein Werk, das bedeutsam ist und zu unserem Verständnis beiträgt. Dies ist ganz einfach ein herausragendes Buch.“ - Der Spiegel des Seefahrers \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42146492940462,"sku":"9781399082280","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/products\/9781399082280_1.jpg?v=1643488462"},{"product_id":"british-naval-trawlers-and-drifters-in-two-world-wars","title":"Britische Marinetrawler und Drifter in zwei Weltkriegen ","description":"\u003ch1 id=\"product-title\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e Britische Marinetrawler und Drifter in zwei Weltkriegen\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"product-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e Aus der John Lambert-Sammlung \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eGebundene Ausgabe\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eAbmessungen:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9,6\" x 11,4\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eSeiten:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e208\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFotos:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e100 Strichzeichnungen und 50 Schwarz-Weiß-Fotos\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e \n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eHerausgeber:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSeaforth Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781526794864\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e Artikel-Nr. 9781526794864 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003eJohn Lambert war ein renommierter Marinezeichner, dessen Pläne wegen ihrer Genauigkeit und Detailgenauigkeit von Modellbauern und Enthusiasten hoch geschätzt wurden. Bis zu seinem Tod im Jahr 2016 hatte er über 850 Zeichnungsblätter angefertigt, von denen viele nie veröffentlicht wurden. Diese wurden von Seaforth erworben und dieser Titel ist der vierte einer geplanten Reihe von Alben zu ausgewählten Themen, die vollständige Blätter in großer Seitengröße mit fachmännischen Kommentaren und Bildunterschriften wiedergeben. Trawler und Drifter dienten zu Tausenden in beiden Weltkriegen; und zu Zehntausenden auch ihre Fischermannschaften. Tatsächlich waren diese bescheidenen Schiffe der am häufigsten von der Royal Navy in beiden Kriegen eingesetzte Schiffstyp und die Antwort auf die strategischen oder taktischen Probleme, die durch die neue Technologie von Minen und U-Booten aufgeworfen wurden. In seinem Begleittext untersucht Steve Dunn die Schiffe selbst, ihren Entwurf, ihre Konstruktion, ihre Bewaffnung, ihren Betrieb und ihre Entwicklung; und er erzählt auch, wie die Trawler und Kapitäne aus den jahrhundertealten Fischereihäfen Grimsby, Hull, Lowestoft, Great Yarmouth, Aberdeen und Fleetwood Teil der Royal Navy wurden, und beschreibt die Rollen, die sie spielten, die Bedingungen unter denen sie dienten, und den Mut, den sie an den Tag legten. Das Buch besteht aus etwa 30 großen Blättern mit Zeichnungen, die John Lambert von diesen Schiffen angefertigt hat, und ist in zwei Abschnitte unterteilt. Der erste Teil erzählt, wie die Fischereiflotte zu einem integralen Bestandteil der Pläne der Royal Navy vor 1914 wurde, und beschreibt einige der Aktivitäten und Aktionen von Trawlern und Driftern im Krieg in den Jahren 1914–18. Und der zweite untersucht die bewaffnete Fischereiflotte im Kampf von 1939 bis 1945. Diese wunderbar detaillierten Zeichnungen, die durch eine Auswahl von Fotos und einen detaillierten ergänzenden Text untermauert werden, bieten ein hervorragendes technisches Archiv für Liebhaber und Schiffsmodellbauer, aber auch das Buch erzählt eine faszinierende Geschichte über den außergewöhnlichen Beitrag der Schiffe und ihrer Besatzungen zur Niederlage Deutschlands in zwei Weltkriegen. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42146493005998,"sku":"9781526794864","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/products\/9781526794864.jpg?v=1643488464"},{"product_id":"the-trafalgar-chronicle","title":"Die Trafalgar-Chronik ","description":"\u003ch1 id=\"product-title\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e Die Trafalgar-Chronik\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"product-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e Der Marinegeschichte in der Nelson-Ära gewidmet: Neue Serie 7 \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eSprache\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglisch\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eTaschenbuch\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eAbmessungen:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e5,8\" x 8,3\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eSeiten:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e192\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e \n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFotos:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e90 Schwarzweiß- und 10 Farbabbildungen\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eHerausgeber:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSeaforth Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781399090469\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e Artikel-Nr. 9781399090469 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003eDer Trafalgar Chronicle, gesponsert vom 1805 Club, ist die Publikation der Wahl für neue Forschungen über die georgische Marine, manchmal auch „Nelsons Marine“ genannt, obwohl ihr Umfang alle Segelflotten der Zeit von 1714 bis 1837 umfasst. Unsere Experten für 2022 wohnen in Großbritannien, den USA, Kanada und Dänemark. Ihre Beiträge erzählen Geschichten von Drama, politischen Intrigen, Wagemut, Einfallsreichtum, Krieg und Abenteuern auf den Weltmeeren. Der diesjährige Band basiert auf dem Thema der wissenschaftlichen und technologischen Fortschritte in den Marinen der georgischen Ära. Themenbezogene Artikel dokumentieren Aspekte der industriellen Revolution und beschreiben Entwicklungen, Innovationen und Erfindungen in den Bereichen Fertigung, Technik, Schießerei und Bewaffnung, Kartierung und Navigation, Segeltaktik, Bordmedizin und Erkundungen der Natur. Ganz in der Tradition der jüngsten Ausgaben Der Trafalgar Chronicle 2022 enthält auch biografische Skizzen von Nelsons Zeitgenossen: Sir Harry Neale und George Matcham, Schwager von Lord Nelson. Zwei weitere Themen von allgemeinem Interesse umfassen eine neue Perspektive auf Einzelschiffaktionen im Krieg von 1812 und eine fesselnde Geschichte einer vergeblichen Expedition der dänischen Marine nach Marokko im Jahr 1751. Diese hübsch illustrierte Ausgabe wird eine faszinierende und bewunderte Ergänzung jeder Marinegeschichte sein Bibliothek. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42146493071534,"sku":"9781399078085","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/files\/9781399078085.jpg?v=1732283066"},{"product_id":"the-battleship-builders","title":"Die Schlachtschiffbauer ","description":"\u003ch1 id=\"product-title\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e Die Schlachtschiffbauer\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"product-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e Bau und Bewaffnung britischer Großkampfschiffe \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eTaschenbuch\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eAbmessungen:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e7,8\" x 10,1\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eSeiten:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e320\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFotos:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e280 s\/w-Fotos und Strichzeichnungen\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e \n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eHerausgeber:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSeaforth Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781399092043\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e Artikel-Nr. 9781399092043 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003eDer Stapellauf der HMS Dreadnought im Jahr 1906, des weltweit ersten Schlachtschiffs mit großen Kanonen, machte alle bestehenden Schlachtflotten überflüssig, machte aber gleichzeitig den zahlenmäßigen Vorsprung der Royal Navy zunichte, der jahrzehntelang so kostspielig aufrechterhalten wurde. Großbritannien befand sich bereits in einem Wettrüsten mit Deutschland und musste dringend eine völlig neue Schlachtflotte aus diesen größeren, komplexeren und teureren Schiffen aufbauen. Dies gelang ihr spektakulär: In etwas mehr als einem Jahrzehnt wurden fünfzig solcher Schiffe fertiggestellt, fast doppelt so viel wie Deutschland. Möglich wurde dies nur durch die große industrielle Vernetzung des Landes aus Schiffbauern, Motorenherstellern, Rüstungsfirmen und spezialisierten Rüstungsherstellern, deren Beitrag zur Schaffung der Großen Flotte allzu oft ignoriert wird. Diese heroische Leistung und die Art und Weise, wie sie vollbracht wurde, ist das zentrale Thema dieses Buches. Es zeichnet den Aufstieg der großen Industriekonzerne nach, die für diesen Erfolg entscheidend waren, untersucht ihre Reaktion auf rasante technische Veränderungen und analysiert die Politik von Finanzierung dieser enormen nationalen Anstrengung, sowohl vor als auch während des Ersten Weltkriegs. Außerdem wird versucht, die tatsächlichen Kosten und den Wert der Grand Fleet anhand der verbrauchten Ressourcen abzuschätzen. Und schließlich werden die Auswirkungen der Nachkriegsrezession, der industrielle Rückgang und die sehr unterschiedlichen Bedingungen beschrieben, die die letzte Generation britischer Schlachtschiffe beeinflussten, die vor und während des Zweiten Weltkriegs gebaut wurden. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42146493169838,"sku":"9781399092043","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/products\/9781399092043_2.jpg?v=1643488466"},{"product_id":"german-destroyers","title":"Deutsche Zerstörer ","description":"\u003ch1 id=\"product-title\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e Deutsche Zerstörer \u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eAutor:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eRobert Brown\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eSprache\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglisch\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSoftcover\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eAbmessungen:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e11,5\" x 8,25\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e \n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eSeiten:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e64\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFotos:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e100 Farb- und Schwarzweißillustrationen und Strichzeichnungen\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eHerausgeber:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003ePen and Sword Military\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781526724922\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e Artikel-Nr. 9781526724922 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003e \u003cp\u003eDie „ShipCraft“-Reihe bietet ausführliche Informationen zum Bau und Umbau von Modellbausätzen berühmter Kriegsschifftypen.

Der Prozess verlief jedoch langsam und unregelmäßig, da zunächst der Armee Vorrang eingeräumt wurde. Darüber hinaus führte die Gründung der Dritten Republik zu einer langen Periode politischer und wirtschaftlicher Instabilität, die sich auf die Marine- und Schiffbaupolitik auswirkte. Französische Marinewerften und private Werften verpflichteten sich zum Bau einer Flotte von Panzerschiffen, Kreuzern und Kleinschiffen und führten dazu, dass Frankreich zumindest quantitativ zur zweiten europäischen Seemacht aufstieg. Mit dem Aufkommen des strategischen Marinekonzepts „Jeune Ècole“ (Junge Schule) in den frühen 1880er Jahren änderten sich dann die Prioritäten im Schiffbau, und der Schwerpunkt wurde auf Küstentorpedoboote und Kreuzer gelegt, während der Bau von Schlachtschiffen verlangsamt wurde. Infolgedessen implementierte die französische Marine das Dreadnought-Konzept später als andere europäische Seemächte, nämlich Großbritannien und Deutschland. Die Entente Cordiale von 1904 trug zu weiteren radikalen Veränderungen in der Außen-, Marine- und Schiffbaupolitik bei, so dass die französische Flotte bei Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs nur aus einer begrenzten Anzahl von Dreadnoughts, vielen veralteten Panzerkreuzern, einer beeindruckenden Anzahl von Torpedobooten und einer Flotte bestand von U-Booten, deren Effizienz jedoch fraglich war. Das Buch bietet einen vollständigen Überblick über die französische Marine von der Gründung der Dritten Republik bis zum Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs. Im ersten Teil des Bandes werden die französische Außen- und Marinepolitik, Werften und Industrieorganisation, technologische Innovationen, Betrieb und Schiffbauprogramme beschrieben, während sich der zweite und größere Teil auf die verschiedenen Kategorien von Kriegsschiffen konzentriert, einschließlich ihrer qualitativen und quantitativen Entwicklung im Zeitraum 1871–1918 und ihre Beschäftigung während des Ersten Weltkriegs. Ein Kapitel ist auch der Marinefliegerei gewidmet. Dieses wichtige neue Nachschlagewerk ist hervorragend mit seltenen und sorgfältig ausgewählten Fotos illustriert und bietet einen klaren und detaillierten Überblick über die französische Marine in dieser Zeit. Es wird ein wichtiger Begleiter für die französischen Kriegsschiffe im Zeitalter von sein Steam 1859–1914, veröffentlicht von Seaforth. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43722711335086,"sku":"9781526701312","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/products\/9781526701312.jpg?v=1674324830"},{"product_id":"victory","title":"Sieg ","description":"\u003ch1 id=\"product-title\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e Sieg\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"product-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e 100-Kanonen First Rate 1765 \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eSprache\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglisch\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eTaschenbuch\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eAbmessungen:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e8,2\" x 11,6\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eSeiten:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e64\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e \n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFotos:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e140 integrierte Farbabbildungen\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eHerausgeber:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSeaforth Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781399085731\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e Artikel-Nr. 9781399085731 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003eDie „ShipCraft“-Reihe bietet ausführliche Informationen zum Bau und Umbau von Modellbausätzen berühmter Kriegsschiffe. Bisher handelte es sich dabei im Allgemeinen um Plastik- und Harzmodelle von Motiven des 20. Jahrhunderts, doch dieser Band stellt eine radikale Abkehr dar – nicht nur ein historisches Segelschiff, sondern eines, für das Bausätze in vielen verschiedenen Materialien und Maßstäben erhältlich sind. Dies erfordert einige Änderungen am Standardansatz, aber die Hauptmerkmale der Serie bleiben unverändert. Die Victory, Nelsons Flaggschiff in Trafalgar, ist wahrscheinlich das berühmteste Segelkriegsschiff der Welt und überlebt in restaurierter Form in Portsmouth. Mit aufwendigen Illustrationen führt dieses Buch die Modellbauerin durch eine kurze Geschichte des Schiffes und beleuchtet die Unterschiede im Erscheinungsbild im Laufe ihrer langen Karriere. Detaillierte Farbprofile offenbaren dekorative Details und Änderungen an Farbschemata im Laufe von 250 Jahren und skizzieren einige der umstrittenen Merkmale, über die sich Experten immer noch nicht einig sind.

Aber dieser Ruhm hat nicht von Dauer. Doch während des gesamten Ersten Weltkriegs war die Harwich Striking Force die Frontlinie der Royal Navy, einer Streitmacht aus Kreuzern und Zerstörern, die die Meere für die Alliierten verteidigte. Unter einem charismatischen und aggressiven Anführer, Reginald Yorke Tyrwhitt, U- Boote, deutsche Kreuzer, Zerstörer und leichte Boote fanden alle ihr Ende durch die Hände der Streitkräfte, ebenso wie feindliche Wasserflugzeuge und Zeppelin-Luftschiffe. Die Harwich-Schiffe waren während des gesamten Krieges fast täglich auf See, suchten die deutsche Küste und die friesischen Inseln heim, leisteten Pionierarbeit bei Luftangriffen vom Meer aus, entwickelten Marineträgerflugzeuge und kombinierte Luft-\/Seeoperationen und jagten in der Nordsee nach feindlichen U-Booten und Minenlegern . Die Harwich Force nahm neben den Schlachtkreuzern der Grand Fleet auch an großen Seeschlachten teil und schützte Handelsschiffe, die in den gefährlichen Gewässern um Dänemark, die Niederlande, Deutschland und Großbritannien operierten. Der Autor bewertet auch die Rolle, die die anderen Formationen der Royal Navy in Harwich spielten : U-Boote, Hilfsminensuch- und Patrouillenschiffe, die Wasserflugzeugbasis Felixstowe und die Stadt selbst. Und als der Krieg schließlich gewonnen war, erlangte die Truppe weiteren Ruhm, als die deutsche U-Boot-Flotte dort kapituliert wurde. Dieses reich illustrierte Buch ist ein fesselnder Bericht über die Männer der Harwich Force, über ihren Mut und ihre mutigen Opfer und den Schlüssel dazu Sie trugen zum endgültigen Sieg der Alliierten gegen Deutschland bei. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43722716348590,"sku":"9781399015967","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/products\/9781399015967.jpg?v=1674325293"},{"product_id":"bounty","title":"Kopfgeld ","description":"\u003ch1 id=\"product-title\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e Kopfgeld\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"product-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e HM Bewaffnetes Schiff, 1787 \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eSprache\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglisch\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eTaschenbuch\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eAbmessungen:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e8,3\" x 11,7\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eSeiten:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e64\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e \n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFotos:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e100 vierfarbig\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eHerausgeber:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSeaforth Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781399022897\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e Artikel-Nr. 9781399022897 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003eDie „ShipCraft“-Reihe bietet ausführliche Informationen zum Bau und Umbau von Modellbausätzen berühmter Kriegsschiffe. Bisher handelte es sich dabei im Allgemeinen um Plastik- und Harzmodelle von Motiven des 20. Jahrhunderts, aber wie der vorherige Band über Nelsons Sieg stellt dies eine radikale Abkehr dar – nicht nur ein historisches Segelschiff, sondern eines, für das Bausätze in vielen verschiedenen Materialien und Maßstäben erhältlich sind. Dies erfordert einige Änderungen am Standardansatz, aber die Hauptmerkmale der Serie bleiben unverändert. Bounty, ein Handelsschiff, das für eine Sondermission im Südpazifik gekauft wurde, wird für immer wegen der Dramatik der Meuterei gegen Kapitän Bligh und seine Freunde in Erinnerung bleiben Es folgte eine epische Reise im offenen Boot. Die Ereignisse inspirierten viele Bücher und mindestens drei große Filme und machten das Schiff zu einem der beliebtesten Schiffsmodellierungsthemen überhaupt. Trotz der Berühmtheit des Schiffs und der großen Auswahl an Bausätzen, die es inspiriert hat, gibt es bei vielen Aspekten der Ausstattung des Schiffs und insbesondere bei der Bemalung Zweifel. Dieser Band geht diesen Fragen nach und rekonstruiert überzeugende Farbschemata für das Schiff sowohl als Handelsschiff als auch im Marinedienst. Im Modellierungsabschnitt werden die Stärken und Schwächen der verfügbaren Bausätze besprochen, handelsübliche Zubehörsätze für die Detaillierung aufgeführt und Hinweise zum Modifizieren und Verbessern des Grundbausatzes gegeben, einschließlich der Komplexität des Riggings. Darauf folgt eine umfangreiche Fotogalerie ausgewählter hochwertiger Modelle in verschiedenen Maßstäben und die Berichterstattung endet mit einem Abschnitt über Forschungsreferenzen – Bücher, Monographien, Großpläne und relevante Websites. Dem Muster der Serie folgend folgt dies Das Buch bietet ein beispielloses Maß an visuellen Informationen – Farbschemata, Modelle, Strichzeichnungen und Fotos – und ist einfach die beste Referenz für jeden, der sich daran macht, diesen imposanten Dreidecker zu modellieren. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43885740785838,"sku":"9781399022897","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/products\/9781399022897.jpg?v=1680899637"},{"product_id":"the-petrol-navy","title":"Die Petrol Navy ","description":"\u003ch1 id=\"product-title\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e Die Petrol Navy\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"product-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e Britische, amerikanische und andere Marine-Motorboote im Krieg 1914 – 1920 \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eSprache\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglisch\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eGebundene Ausgabe\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eAbmessungen:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e6,1\" x 9,2\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eSeiten:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e320\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e \n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFotos:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e85 Monoabbildungen\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eHerausgeber:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSeaforth Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781399062855\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e Artikel-Nr. 9781399062855 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003eBei Kriegsausbruch im Jahr 1914 stellte die Royal Navy fest, dass sie für Minenräumarbeiten, U-Boot-Abwehrpatrouillen und Küstenverteidigung mehr Kleinfahrzeuge benötigte, als sie besaß. Dies führte zur Bildung einer Hilfstruppe ziviler Schiffe, darunter Motorboote und Yachten, relativ neue Schiffstypen, die mit Verbrennungsmotoren angetrieben werden. Die Aufnahme dieser Schiffe erfolgte, als eine Gruppe von Motorbootbesitzern der Admiralität vorschlug, dass ihre Schiffe eine wichtige Rolle bei der Verteidigung Großbritanniens spielen könnten. Das Ergebnis war die Gründung der Royal Naval Motor Boat Reserve (RNMBR) im Jahr 1912. Mitte 1915 erwiesen sich die Anforderungen des Marinedienstes als zu groß für diese eigenwilligen Boote. Ein Treffen in den USA führte dazu, dass sie durch in den USA entworfene Elco-Motorbarkassen (MLs) ersetzt wurden, von denen 550 gekauft wurden, und diese Elco-Barkassen leisteten für den Rest des Krieges großartige Dienste, normalerweise unter der Führung von RNVR-Personal, das drei Victoria-Kreuze gewann . Zusätzlich zu den Elcos entwickelten einige Marineoffiziere 1915 die Aquaplaning Coastal Motor Boats (CMBs), die in der zweiten Hälfte des Krieges gleichermaßen hervorragende Dienste leisteten. Nach dem Krieg leisteten beide Typen wertvolle Dienste bei der Besetzung des Rheinlands und im Ostseefeldzug, wo drei weitere VCs gewonnen wurden. Andere Länder übernahmen ähnliche Schiffe. In Italien erlangte das Torpedomotorschiff MAS Ruhm und Erfolg. Und in Frankreich spielten die von Großbritannien und Elco gelieferten MLs ihren Teil. Auch Deutschland nutzte kleine Motorschiffe, darunter die mit Torpedos bewaffneten Luftschiffmotorboote und ferngesteuerten Fernlenkboote. Und als Amerika in den Krieg eintrat, baute es eine Flotte sogenannter „U-Boot-Chaser“ auf, die aus Holz gebaut waren und darauf ausgelegt waren, U-Boote entlang ihrer Ostküste abzuwehren. Die Petrol Navy erzählt die bewegende Geschichte dieser motorbetriebenen Boote im Krieg , von ihrer Entwicklung und ihrem Betrieb und von den vielen farbenfrohen Charakteren, die ihre Kapitäne und Besatzungsmitglieder waren. Es wird Historiker und Enthusiasten mit einem wichtigen und bisher unbekannten Aspekt des Seekrieges vertraut machen und diejenigen mit einem allgemeineren Interesse am Ersten Weltkrieg fesseln. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43993862406318,"sku":"9781399062855","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/products\/9781399062855.jpg?v=1685131227"},{"product_id":"british-and-commonwealth-warship-camouflage-of-wwii","title":"Tarnung britischer und Commonwealth-Kriegsschiffe aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg ","description":"\u003ch1 id=\"product-title\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e Tarnung britischer und Commonwealth-Kriegsschiffe aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"product-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e Zerstörer, Fregatten, Eskorten, Minensuchboote, Küstenkriegsschiffe, U-Boote und Hilfsschiffe \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eSprache\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglisch\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eTaschenbuch\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eAbmessungen:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e10,1\" x 7,9\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e \n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eSeiten:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e160\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFotos:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eMehr als 740 Farbprofile\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eHerausgeber:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSeaforth Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781399024860\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e Artikel-Nr. 9781399024860 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003eWährend des Zweiten Weltkriegs entwickelten die Marinen für ihre Schiffe eine Tarnung mit geringer Sichtbarkeit, sowohl auf vertikalen als auch auf horizontalen Flächen, um die Sichtbarkeit zu verringern, indem sie mit dem Meer verschmelzen, oder um die Identität eines Schiffes durch das Anbringen auffälligerer Muster zu verwirren. In diesem inzwischen klassischen Werk des maritimen Künstlers Mal Wright werden sowohl die offiziellen als auch die inoffiziellen Farbschemata, die Schiffe der Royal Navy und des Commonwealth schmückten, detailliert dargestellt, zusammen mit einer Diskussion über Änderungen an Bewaffnung und Elektronik, die sich auf das äußere Erscheinungsbild jedes Schiffes auswirkten. Beginnend mit Zerstörern aus dem Ersten Weltkrieg, die noch im Zweiten Weltkrieg im Einsatz waren, behandelt das Buch nach und nach Schiffe unterhalb der Kreuzer, Klasse für Klasse, um einen detaillierten und benutzerfreundlichen Leitfaden für die verwendeten Bemalungsschemata zu bieten. In einigen Fällen werden einzelne Schiffe in den verschiedenen Schemata dargestellt, die sie trugen, wodurch eine Quelle bereitgestellt wird, die verschiedene Dienstzeiträume abdeckt. Mit 740 Farbabbildungen, die alle namentlich genannte Schiffe zeigen, bündelt dieses Buch die Informationen in einem einzigen Band, um eine zentrale Referenzquelle zu bieten, und deckt zum ersten Mal in einem einzigen Band nicht nur die bekannten Schiffe ab, sondern auch außerdem Begleitschiffe, Minensuchboote, Trawler, Küstenboote und Hilfsschiffe im sequentiellen Format. Viele Schemata wären für den Leser ohne die intensivste Recherche nur schwer zu finden, so dass Historiker, Sammler, Modellbauer und Wargamer diese einzigartige Referenzquelle absolut finden werden Von unschätzbarem Wert. „Ein Buch, das alle Steel-Navy-Fans in ihrer Bibliothek haben wollen. Das Buch ist umfassend recherchiert und ich bezweifle, dass irgendjemand außer dem Autor mehr über dieses Thema weiß … Ich kann nur „Wow“ zu all den Informationen sagen in dieses kleine Buch.

Jedes Buch ist reich bebildert und führt den Modellbauer durch eine kurze Geschichte des Themas, wobei er Unterschiede zwischen Schiffen und Veränderungen in ihrem Aussehen im Laufe ihrer Karriere hervorhebt. Dazu gehören Bemalungen und Tarnungen mit Farbprofilen sowie äußerst detaillierten Strichzeichnungen und maßstabsgetreuen Plänen. Der Modellierungsabschnitt gibt einen Überblick über die Stärken und Schwächen der verfügbaren Bausätze, listet kommerzielle Zubehörsätze für die Detaillierung der Motive auf und gibt Tipps zum Modifizieren und Verbessern des Grundbausatzes. Es folgt eine umfangreiche Fotogalerie ausgewählter hochwertiger Modelle in verschiedenen Maßstäben und das Buch schließt mit einem Abschnitt über Forschungsreferenzen – Bücher, Monographien, Großpläne und relevante Websites. Dies ist der erste von zwei Bänden Dieses Buch behandelt 6-Zoll-Kreuzer der Royal Navy aus den 1930er-Jahren und später und widmet sich drei verwandten Konstruktionen, die mit Doppellafetten bewaffnet sind. Zu dieser Gruppe gehören einige der berühmtesten Schiffe des Zweiten Weltkriegs, wie Ajax, Achilles, Penelope und die australische Sydney. Der nächste Band wird die späteren Klassen vorstellen, die mit der dreifachen 6-Zoll-Montage ausgestattet sind – die „Städte“, „Kolonien“ und ihre Derivate. Mit seinem beispiellosen Maß an visuellen Informationen – Farbschemata, Modellen, Strichzeichnungen und Fotos – ist dieses Buch einfach die beste Referenz für jeden Modellbauer, der einen dieser berühmten Kreuzer bauen möchte. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43993862930606,"sku":"9781399030564","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/products\/9781399030564.jpg?v=1685131275"},{"product_id":"british-and-commonwealth-warship-camouflage-of-wwii-1","title":"Tarnung britischer und Commonwealth-Kriegsschiffe aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg ","description":"\u003ch1 id=\"product-title\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e Tarnung britischer und Commonwealth-Kriegsschiffe aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"product-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e Band II: Schlachtschiffe und Flugzeugträger \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eSprache\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglisch\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eTaschenbuch\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eAbmessungen:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e10\" x 7,9\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eSeiten:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e192\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e \n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFotos:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e525 Farbprofile\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eHerausgeber:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSeaforth Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781399024877\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e Artikel-Nr. 9781399024877 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003eWährend des Zweiten Weltkriegs entwickelten die Marinen für ihre Schiffe eine Tarnung mit geringer Sichtbarkeit, sowohl auf vertikalen als auch auf horizontalen Flächen, um die Sichtbarkeit zu verringern, indem sie mit dem Meer verschmelzen, oder um die Identität eines Schiffes durch das Anbringen auffälligerer Muster zu verwirren. In diesem zweiten Band des maritimen Künstlers Mal Wright werden sowohl die offiziellen als auch die inoffiziellen Farbschemata, die die Großschiffe der Royal Navy und des Commonwealth schmückten, detailliert dargestellt, zusammen mit Diskussionen über Änderungen an Bewaffnung und Elektronik, die sich auf das äußere Erscheinungsbild jedes einzelnen auswirkten Schiff.

Jahrhundert bis hin zu jüngsten Kontroversen über die Verlagerung des Schwerpunkts auf Grenzpatrouillen und Auslandseinsätze beinhaltet die Geschichte der „Cinderella-Flotte“ der Royal Navy viele dramatische Vorfälle; Bisher gab es jedoch noch nie ein Buch zu diesem Thema. Die neue Arbeit des Marinehistorikers Jon Wise wird dieses Versäumnis beheben. Historisch gesehen gab es zwei Hauptgründe, warum der Schutz von Fischereifahrzeugen so wichtig war: Erstens war Fisch schon immer ein wesentlicher Bestandteil der Ernährung des Landes, und zweitens waren Fischer eine wichtige Quelle für Fischerei Fachpersonal für die Royal Navy selbst. Es wird behauptet, dass das Fischereischutzgeschwader (FPS) das älteste der Flotte ist und aus der Zeit vor der formellen Gründung der Marine zu Beginn des 16. Jahrhunderts stammt, dennoch ist es immer noch vergleichsweise wenig bekannt. Die berühmtesten Einsätze des Geschwaders waren die „Kabeljaukriege“ von 1958–76, aber sechs Jahrhunderte lang war es mit den vielen wichtigen Aufgaben des Schutzes und der Überwachung von Fischereiflotten beschäftigt, obwohl es in jüngerer Zeit sein Augenmerk auf die Überwachung von Öl und Gas richtete Felder, die Überwachung von Quoten und Nachhaltigkeit und die Überwachung der anhaltenden Meinungsverschiedenheiten darüber, wer wo und wann fischen darf. Der Autor behandelt so unterschiedliche Themen wie die Kämpfe mit den Niederländern um die Vorherrschaft in der Nordsee, den Schutz der Fischerei an der Ostküste Amerikas, und die Rolle des Geschwaders in den beiden Weltkriegen. Diese zum Nachdenken anregende Erzählung, die viele Berichte aus erster Hand enthält, wird von besonderem Interesse für alle RN-Mitarbeiter sein, die im Geschwader gedient haben, und wird zum endgültigen Bericht über diesen wichtigen, aber oft unbesungenen Bestandteil der britischen Seestreitkräfte seine Auswirkungen auf das nationale Leben. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44194296955054,"sku":"9781399041706","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/products\/9781399041706.jpg?v=1694647053"},{"product_id":"favourite-of-fortune","title":"Liebling des Glücks ","description":"\u003ch1 id=\"product-title\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e Liebling des Glücks\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"product-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e Kapitän John Quilliam, Trafalgar-Held \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eSprache\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglisch\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e \n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eTaschenbuch\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eAbmessungen:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e6,1\" x 9,2\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eSeiten:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e208\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFotos:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e32 Farb- und Schwarzweißabbildungen\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e \n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eHerausgeber:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSeaforth Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\n \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781399016957\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e Artikel-Nr. 9781399016957 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003eZu Nelsons Zeit mangelte es der Royal Navy weder an Helden noch an herausragenden Erfolgen, aber selbst in diesem überfüllten Feld sticht die Karriere von Kapitän John Quilliam hervor – so oft wurde er zu Recht als der richtige Mann zur richtigen Zeit am richtigen Ort beschrieben von einem Zeitgenossen als „Liebling des Glücks“ bezeichnet. Quilliam wurde vor 250 Jahren auf der Isle of Man geboren und hat sich bisher einer detaillierten Untersuchung seines außergewöhnlichen Lebens entzogen. Tatsächlich bleibt einer der wichtigsten Männer auf dem Achterdeck der HMS Victory in der Schlacht von Trafalgar, obwohl er als Manx-Held gefeiert wird, in der Welt jenseits der Insel weitgehend unerkannt. Trafalgar war jedoch nicht einmal der Höhepunkt von Quilliams Leben berufliche Reise. Von der untersten Sprosse der Leiter in der Werft von Portsmouth stieg er zum Oberleutnant der Victory auf, nachdem er bereits zwei der blutigsten Seeschlachten seiner Zeit in Camperdown und Kopenhagen überlebt hatte. Dabei erlangte er einen Anteil an ungeahntem Reichtum durch die Beschlagnahmung einer der größten Beute an spanischem Gold, die jemals von der georgischen Marine erbeutet wurde. Quilliam wurde zum Postkapitän befördert und erreichte den Höhepunkt seines Berufs, indem er Fregatten in der Ostsee und darüber hinaus befehligte der Neufundland-Station im Krieg von 1812. Dort wehrte er in einer bizarren Wendung, die eines Romans von O'Brian oder Forester würdig wäre, in einem von seinem eigenen First angestrengten Kriegsgericht den Vorwurf ab, er habe sich einer Verlobung mit dem amerikanischen Superfregattenpräsidenten entzogen Leutnant.Diese erste vollständige Biografie eines alles andere als gewöhnlichen Marineoffiziers ist selbst eine ungewöhnliche Zusammenarbeit zwischen drei Autoren, die sich jeweils für unterschiedliche Aspekte von Quilliams Karriere interessieren, aber vereint sind in der Überzeugung, dass sie ein breiteres Publikum verdient. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44194302558382,"sku":"9781399016957","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/products\/9781399016957.jpg?v=1694647248"},{"product_id":"british-and-commonwealth-warship-camouflage-of-wwii-vol-3","title":"British and Commonwealth Warship Camouflage of WWII","description":"            \u003ch1 id=\"product-title\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003eBritish and Commonwealth Warship Camouflage of WWII \u003c\/h1\u003e      \u003ch2 id=\"product-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eVolume III: Cruisers and Minelayers\u003c\/h2\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003ePaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e10\" x 7.9\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e192\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePhotos:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e800 color profiles\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSeaforth Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781399024884\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eItem No. 9781399024884\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring the Second World War navies developed low visibility camouflage for their ships, on both vertical and horizontal surfaces, in order reduce visibility by blending in with the sea, or confuse the identity of a ship by applying more obtrusive patters.

In this the second volume by maritime artist Mal Wright, both the official and unofficial paint schemes that adorned the cruisers of the Royal Navy and Commonwealth are depicted in detail, along with discussions on changes of armament and electronics that effected the outward appearance of each ship.Beginning with the older cruisers, the book goes on to cover all the other cruiser classes, taking in heavy cruisers, prewar and wartime cruisers; the author then covers minelayers. Where possible both sides of the ship are depicted, and there are multiple images of the ships where armament or equipment changes had a fundamental impact on a ships appearance. Overhead views are also included. With 800 full color illustrations, arranged by ship type rather than camouflage scheme, this book concentrates the clearest possible information into a single volume to provide a one-stop reference source.  Many schemes would be difficult for the reader to have found other than with the most intensive research so that historians, collectors, model makers and wargamers will find this unique reference source absolutely invaluable.\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e    ","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44991696699566,"sku":"9781399024884","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/files\/9781399024884.jpg?v=1712871900"},{"product_id":"tribals-battles-and-darings","title":"Tribals, Battles \u0026 Darings","description":"      \u003ch1 id=\"product-title\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003eTribals, Battles \u0026amp; Darings\u003c\/h1\u003e      \u003ch2 id=\"product-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eThe Genesis of the Modern Destroyer\u003c\/h2\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003ePaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e7.9\" x 10.2\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e176\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePhotos:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eNo illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSeaforth Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781399077958\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eItem No. 9781399077958\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003eThe ships that dominate so much of the history of the Royal Navy in the Second World War are more often than not the carriers or battleships – Ark Royal, Warspite, Hood – and rarely do ships smaller than cruisers move center stage. Apart that is from one class, the Tribal class destroyers, heroes of the Altmark incident, of the battle of Narvik, and countless actions across all theaters of operation. Yet there has been surprisingly little written about these critical ships, still less about their wartime successors, the Battle class, or their postwar incarnations, the Daring class.This book seeks to rectify this by describing the three classes, each designed under different circumstances along destroyer lines but to general-purpose light cruiser form, from the interwar period through to the 1950s, and the author explains the procurement process for each class in the context of the needs and technology of the times. Taken together these classes represent the genesis of the modern general-purpose destroyer, breaking from the torpedo boat destroyer form into a self-reliant, multi-purpose combatant capable of stepping up to the cruiser’s traditional peacetime patrol missions whilst also fulfilling the picket and fighting duties of the wartime light cruiser or heavy destroyer.This is the first work to analyze these three classes side by side, to examine their conception, their creation and their operational stories, many heroic, and provide an insight into ship design, operation and culture; and in doing so the book aims to contribute a better understanding of one of the most significant periods in the Royal Navy’s history. In its clear description of the genesis of the modern destroyer, this book will give the reader a clearer picture of its future as well. Historians, professionals and enthusiasts will all enjoy this wide-ranging and detailed study.\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e    ","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44991861031086,"sku":"9781399077958","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/files\/9781399077958.jpg?v=1712873749"},{"product_id":"german-battlecruisers-of-world-war-one","title":"German Battlecruisers of World War One","description":"      \u003ch1 id=\"product-title\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003eGerman Battlecruisers of World War One\u003c\/h1\u003e      \u003ch2 id=\"product-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eTheir Design, Construction and Operations\u003c\/h2\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003ePaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e320\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePhotos:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e250 b\/w photos, 150 line drawings \u0026amp; maps, and 24 color artworks\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSeaforth Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781399078689\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eItem No. 9781399078689\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003eThis is the most comprehensive study yet in the English language of the German Imperial Navy's battlecruisers that served in the First World War. Known as Panzerkreuzer, literally 'armored cruiser', the eight ships of the class were to be involved in several early North Sea skirmishes before the great pitched battle of Jutland where they inflicted devastating damage on the Royal Navy's battlecruiser fleet.In this comprehensive book the author details their design and construction, and traces the full service history of each ship, recounting their actions, largely from first-hand German sources and official documents, many previously unpublished in English. Detailed line drawings and maps augment the text throughout, as do a wealth of contemporary photos that depict the vessels at sea as well as in dock, where details of damage sustained in action and many aspects of their design can be viewed in close up. A superb series of full-color, specially-commissioned computer graphics show full length profiles and top-down views of each ship in precise and clear detail.This stunning book is a major new contribution to German naval history in this country and will become a 'must-have' volume on the shelves of historians, enthusiasts and modelers and indeed for anyone interested in the navies of the First World War and steel warships in general. This new paperback edition will delight a new audience of historians, enthusiasts and modelmakers who missed the book when first published.\"A 'must have' for all those interested in First World War battlecruisers. The book is beautifully produced, excellent value for money and contains much material that has never before been published in English.\" - Marine News\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e    ","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45529843957934,"sku":"9781399078689","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/files\/9781399078689.jpg?v=1721055206"},{"product_id":"steam-yachts-at-war","title":"Steam Yachts at War","description":"      \u003ch1 id=\"product-title\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003eSteam Yachts at War\u003c\/h1\u003e      \u003ch2 id=\"product-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eThe Naval Deployment of British \u0026amp; American Yachts, 1898–1918\u003c\/h2\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eHardback\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e256\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePhotos:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e160 color and b\/w  illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSeaforth Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781399059725\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eItem No. 9781399059725\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003eThis is the story of how the luxurious steam yachts of the Victorian and Edwardian eras were transformed into weapons of war. These beautiful vessels were the ultimate status symbols of British and European royalty, American magnates, the landed aristocracy and the nouveau riche, but when wars came, in 1898 and 1914, they were quickly transformed into warships, and many of their crews became warriors rather than servants.The US Navy was the first to recognise the potential of these elegant vessels. In the Spanish-American war of 1898, the USN – short of ships to operate a blockade of Spanish-owned Cuba – purchased twenty-eight of them and turned them into patrol craft and bombardment ships. In Britain in 1914 steam yachts became a stop gap navy, filling in for neglected investment in small craft. The USN followed suit in 1917. Their wonderful interiors were ripped out, antiquated guns and sometimes depth charges fitted, and their crews signed into the naval reserves. Around the coasts of the Britain and France, in the Mediterranean and the USA, Canada, these former luxurious playthings now attacked land positions and fought surface warships and U-boats. They interdicted blockade runners, escorted convoys, were used as depot ships, served as hospitals afloat and undertook a host of other functions. In all, some 300 yachts fought at sea.This new book, lavishly illustrated with photographs and plans of pre-war and wartime steam yachts from a world now lost to view, tells their story and the stories of the men who served in them. It examines their peacetime origins and development, describes their owners and designers, and considers their naval deployment, the conditions under which the crews lived and worked, the many and varied duties assigned to the yachts, and their successes and failures together with the losses sustained.In just a couple of generations these beautiful craft progressed from status symbols to instruments of war to complete extinction; Steam Yachts at War tells this compelling story.\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e    ","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45529902776494,"sku":"9781399059725","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/files\/9781399059725.jpg?v=1721056239"},{"product_id":"british-naval-gun-mountings","title":"British Naval Gun Mountings","description":"      \u003ch1 id=\"product-title\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003eBritish Naval Gun Mountings\u003c\/h1\u003e      \u003ch2 id=\"product-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eFrom 1890: 18-inch to 4.5-inch Mark 8\u003c\/h2\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eHardback\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9.75\" x 11.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e224\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePhotos:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e80 color illustrations, 80 mono illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSeaforth Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781399059961\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eItem No. 9781399059961\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003eHeavy gun mountings dominated the design of larger warships, on account of their size, weight, protection and cost. In the 1890s, British gun mountings developed rapidly with new gun technologies (wire winding, cordite) and the rise of the two major ordnance companies, Armstrongs and Vickers, producing large numbers of weapons for the Royal Navy and for worldwide export. But by 1960, aircraft and guided missiles had made the big gun redundant, so the period from 1890s to 1950s covering the two world wars is the most historically significant.The focus of this book is on the larger mountings and those fitted in the larger ships – the massively engineered ‘non transferable’ mountings, whose complexities and associated magazines took up a huge volume of the ship, unlike the smaller calibre ‘transferable’ mountings mostly bolted to the deck. Such mountings could weigh over 1000 tons, take two years to build and make up a quarter of the cost of a battleship.Although they existed in many variants, there were only about forty basic mountings from 4.5in to 18in calibre fitted to the majority of the RN’s larger ships so these take up the bulk of the book. For each, well illustrated handbooks with coloured plates were produced, but are largely inaccessible to the public, so about 50 of these highly detailed drawings are reproduced at large scale. The smaller mountings and the guns themselves each have a separate chapter.Although the impact of the book is largely visual, there is an expert account of the design, construction and installation of such mountings, and their manufacturers, supported by a range of internal and close-up photographs. The reference value of the work is enhanced by a comprehensive table of mountings and their characteristics, plus a list of all the mountings made by Vickers of Barrow between 1900 and 1950.Providing easy access to so much rarely seen material, this handsome volume will appeal to modelmakers, ship enthusiasts and technical historians.\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e    ","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45964901515438,"sku":"9781399059961","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/files\/9781399059961.jpg?v=1732282734"},{"product_id":"fairfield","title":"Fairfield","description":"      \u003ch1 id=\"product-title\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003eFairfield\u003c\/h1\u003e      \u003ch2 id=\"product-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eA Shipyard Success Story 1834 - 2024\u003c\/h2\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eHardback\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e8.5\" x 10.25\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e272\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePhotos:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e200 Mono integrated\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSeaforth Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781399089661\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eItem No. 9781399089661\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003eOne of the great names in British industrial history, the Fairfield Shipbuilding \u0026amp; Engineering Co Ltd, Govan, Glasgow, was always associated with innovation – particularly the development of the compound steam engine which brought great fuel efficiency to deep sea transportation and led to the ubiquitous triple expansion steam engine. Through the design and construction of record-breaking Atlantic liners and their machinery for the Guion and Cunard companies, by the late nineteenth century Fairfield had become the most important shipyard and marine engine works in the world. Admiralty contracts for all classes of warship followed, notably during the world wars and as a lifeline during the depression of the 1920s and early 1930s. However, the Fairfield yard was probably best known for building magnificently appointed intermediate liners, among them a series of Empress liners for Canadian Pacific.From the late 1950s onwards as shipbuilding in Britain began a steady decline, Fairfield, one of the most modern yards in Europe with a large order book, hit the headlines this time not for the launch or completion of a ship but by declaring insolvency in 1965. The next 35 years, much of it under state ownership, were characterised by various name changes and campaigns to keep the yard open. With its traditional market for 'high class' tonnage gone and no longer designated a warship yard, new commercial markets had to be found. When this struggle for survival seemed to be all but over and the virtual elimination of the commercial shipbuilding industry in Britain now complete, BAE Systems acquired the yard in 2000 bringing with it stability and continuity. A major warship-builder once more, the former Fairfield yard has been heavily involved in the Type 45 destroyer programme, the production of major blocks for the Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers, the five River class Offshore Patrol Vessels and currently with the Type 26 frigate programme. With the skyline of Glasgow soon to be transformed once BAE Systems completes its next-generation ship construction hall, capable of building two Type 26 frigates side by side under cover, the future looks bright for the last of the great Clyde shipyards.\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e    ","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45964902793390,"sku":"9781399089661","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/files\/9781399089661.jpg?v=1732282775"},{"product_id":"shipcraft-23-rodney-and-nelson-revised-edition","title":"ShipCraft 23: Rodney and Nelson - Revised Edition","description":"      \u003ch1 id=\"product-title\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003eShipCraft 23: Rodney and Nelson - Revised Edition\u003c\/h1\u003e            \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003ePaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e8.25\" x 11.75\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e64\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePhotos:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e130 colour \u0026amp; b\/w illustrations and plans\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSeaforth Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781036150334\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003eThe 'ShipCraft' series provides in-depth information about building and modifying model kits of famous warship types. Lavishly illustrated, each book takes the modeller through a brief history of the subject class, highlighting differences between sisterships and changes in their appearance over their careers. This includes paint schemes and camouflage, featuring colour profiles and highly-detailed line drawings and scale plans. The modelling section reviews the strengths and weaknesses of available kits, lists commercial accessory sets for super-detailing of the ships, and provides hints on modifying and improving the basic kit. This is followed by an extensive photographic survey of selected high-quality models in a variety of scales, and the book concludes with a section on research references - books, monographs, large-scale plans and relevant websites.The two ships covered in this volume were the only capital ships designed and built between the wars - a special concession of the Washington Treatys ban on new battleships - and they were unlike anything before them, with the superstructure three-quarters aft and all main armament turrets forward of the bridge. During the war Nelson survived mine and torpedo damage, while Rodney played a major part in the destruction of the Bismarck, both surviving to be broken up post-war.LES BROWN is a leading light in the Small Warships Group of the IPMS and the editor of their newsletter. He is the author of a number of titles in the ShipCraft series, including two on British destroyers, and, with John Lambert, he produced two larger works, one on ‘Flower’ class corvettes and another on Allied torpedo boats. He also wrote the volume on Black Swan Class Sloops in Seaforth’s ‘Original Builders’ Plans’ series.ROBERT BROWN is a Canadian ship modeller, who has contributed a number of volumes in the ShipCraft series, the most recent being British Aircraft Carriers published in 2024.

Ough lived most of his adult life far from the sea in a flat high above the Charing Cross Road in London, where his frugal existence and total absorption in his work led to hospitalisation on at least two occasions; he was an eccentric in the truest sense but he also became one of the most sought-after masters of his craft. Earl Mountbatten had him model the ships he had served on; his model of HMS Queen Elizabeth was presented to Earl Beatty; film production companies commissioned models for effects in several films. Incorporating many of his original articles from Model Maker Magazine, his detailed line drawings now kept in the Brunel Institute, and photographs of his models held in museums and at Mountbattens house, this book presents an extraordinary level of practical information as well as an inspiring panorama of perhaps the most perfect warship models ever made; modelmakers, naval enthusiasts and historians will welcome his remarkable insights into the ships of the two World Wars.\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e    ","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45964910887086,"sku":"9781399077965","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/files\/9781399077965.jpg?v=1732283005"},{"product_id":"ship-craft-queen-elizabeth-class-battleships-revised-edition","title":"Ship Craft Queen Elizabeth Class Battleships - Revised Edition","description":"            \u003ch1 id=\"product-title\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003eShip Craft Queen Elizabeth Class Battleships - Revised Edition\u003c\/h1\u003e            \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eLes Brown\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSoftcover\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e8.25\" x 11.75\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e64\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSeaforth Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781036150303\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eItem No. 9781036150303\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 'ShipCraft' series provides in-depth information about building and modifying model kits of famous warship types.

The modelling section reviews the strengths and weaknesses of available kits, lists commercial accessory sets for super-detailing of the ships, and provides hints on modifying and improving the basic kit. This is followed by an extensive photographic survey of selected high-quality models in a variety of scales, and the book concludes with a section on research references - books, monographs, large-scale plans and relevant websites.The two ships covered in this volume were the only capital ships designed and built between the wars - a special concession of the Washington Treatys ban on new battleships - and they were unlike anything before them, with the superstructure three-quarters aft and all main armament turrets forward of the bridge. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the war Nelson survived mine and torpedo damage, while Rodney played a major part in the destruction of the Bismarck, both surviving to be broken up post-war.LES BROWN is a leading light in the Small Warships Group of the IPMS and the editor of their newsletter.

With three funnels and a high freeboard, they were impressive ships, and all enjoyed very active wartime careers - three were involved in the Bismarck action and another with the sinking of the Scharnhorst.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e    ","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48013475250350,"sku":"9781036157043","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/files\/f1d6081483dcb4848effa7babfe16f2f.jpg?v=1782239344"},{"product_id":"coastal-motor-boats-thornycroft-and-the-origins-of-fast-attack-craft","title":"Coastal Motor Boats: Thornycroft and the Origins of Fast Attack Craft","description":"      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eMartin Kelly\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eHardback\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e8.5\" x 10.25\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e280\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePhotos:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e24 colour \u0026amp; 160 b\/w photos \u0026amp; line drawings\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSeaforth Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781036137939\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eItem No. 9781036137939\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to conventional naval history, the Coastal Motor Boat was the brainchild of three enterprising young Royal Navy officers in the early stages of the First World War. This new book reveals that the truth was far more complex, and historically more significant. Research in previously unused family records shows that the shipbuilder John I Thornycroft played a pivotal role, building on his pre-war experience in the new sport of fast motor-boat racing, without which the technologically advanced CMB could never have been built.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book goes on to analyse the original role for which these boats were specifically designed – an attack on the German High Seas Fleet in its protected anchorages – and why the operation never took place. Later activities are covered but by the end of the war many regarded the CMB as a disappointment, if not a downright failure. This changed dramatically in 1919 with the RN’s intervention against the Bolsheviks, when CMBs spectacularly raided the Kronstad naval base following the single-handed sinking of the Russian cruiser Oleg by CMB.4. Although these operations have been written up many times previously, for the first time this book has had access to contemporary Soviet reports which throw much new light on these events and their significance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the war, the Royal Navy lost interest in CMBs – unlike the Soviets who built large numbers of what were effectively copies – but the Thornycroft design continued to be built and operated by navies as far apart as those of Finland and China. Some of these saw action in the Second World War and these largely unreported actions are also covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story concludes with a description of the current project in Portsmouth Naval Base which aimed to build an exact replica of CMB.4. The information gleaned from this ‘experimental archaeology’ forms a fitting end to a book replete with new information and novel insights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e    ","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67603465371822,"sku":"9781036137939","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/files\/9781036137939.jpg?v=1790745656"},{"product_id":"last-resting-place-the-loss-of-hms-hood-and-other-british-capital-ships-193945","title":"Last Resting Place: The Loss of HMS Hood and other British Capital Ships 1939–45","description":"      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eMartin Lawrence\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eHardback\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e6.25\" x 9.25\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e256\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePhotos:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e50 mono illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSeaforth Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781036133313\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eItem No. 9781036133313\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLast Resting Place looks at the loss of each of the ten capital ships of the Royal Navy that were sunk during the Second World War. The stories of some of the sinkings are well known and have become deemed simply part of the fortunes of war. Naval war involves battles, and in sea battles, sooner or later, protagonists are sunk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut for some of the capital ship losses the stories of how disaster struck are not quite as straightforward. The sinking of HMS Hood, for instance, has led to questioning the verdict of the official enquiry over many years, even up to the present day. It was concluded at the time that Hood was lost to a lucky hit from Bismarck that drove through the ship and caused a magazine at the stern to catch fire. The inquiry did go through various possibilities in detail but this was the best fit of three alternatives considered and has been left to stand. Yet Hood’s record of numerous dockings for repairs before her last sortie – some of which were heavy – was never even brought up, a surprising omission and the more so since close to the outbreak of war the First Sea Lord had commented: ‘she [Hood] needs a complete and total change of machinery as hers is twenty years old,’ and ‘the likelihood of her being able to steam at speed for any distance must be considered remote.’ Why was mechanical breakdown overlooked? The author’s detective work has brought to light some radical new conclusions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome other ships such as Ark Royal and Hermes had their wrecks located on the seabed miles away from the official recorded position of their sinking and the loss of Royal Oak in Scapa Flow was an avoidable debacle. Even more contentious was the loss of Glorious, sent to Norway to recover some hopelessly antiquated Gloster Gladiator aircraft and lost on her return when she ran into the German battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. The results of the inquiry into her sinking were later locked away for 100 years, a decision that has led to much speculation about the actual purpose of her mission and what is it about it that is being hidden from public view.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn ten chapters the author dissects what happened to these fine ships, how their losses came about and where their wrecks are located; and he looks in detail at theories, causes and conclusions surrounding the sinkings. It is a fascinating compilation for anyone interested in the history of the Royal Navy’s great capital ships and sheds genuine new light on the calamitous destruction of nearly half of them during the War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e    ","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67603465601198,"sku":"9781036133313","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/files\/9781036133313.jpg?v=1790745665"},{"product_id":"the-fleet-that-fought-itself-the-spanish-navy-and-the-civil-war-193639","title":"The Fleet that Fought Itself: The Spanish Navy and the Civil War 1936–39","description":"      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eLeonard R Heinz\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eHardback\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e6.25\" x 9.25\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e384\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePhotos:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e20 mono illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSeaforth Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781036113988\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eItem No. 9781036113988\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn July 1936 a military revolt brought civil war to Spain; it erupted into a bitter political contest and a brutal land war which have been well covered by historians – a less appreciated dimension of the conflict was the crucial role played by the navies of both sides. This new book describes and explores the naval operations that played out over thirty-eight months and spread well beyond the seas of Spain. Spanish guns thundered off the English coast and as far south as the Bay of Guinea. Submarines lurked in the Aegean, waiting to torpedo ships bringing supplies from the Black Sea. To the west, operations extended into the Atlantic as warships searched for blockade runners and moved between the Bay of Biscay and the Mediterranean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book begins by describing of the Spanish navy pre-war, then covers the generals’ revolt of July 1936 and its effect in the fleet. Subsequent chapters deal with the naval war as it unfolded. It describes Franco’s attempts to move the battle-hardened Spanish troops in Africa to the Spanish mainland, then shifts focus to the northern Spanish coast, where an isolated Republican enclave depended on the sea to receive weapons, food, and fuel. The author then pursues a split narrative, interweaving developments in the north and the Mediterranean and following the war to its conclusion.

This fleeting glimpse was all that most would ever see of the extraordinary business of the Pounds family, which ranged from shipbreaking to selling war-surplus military vehicles. This book tells their story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter beginnings in general scrap in the 1860s, Pounds started breaking up ships in 1921 with German U-Boats. Proximity to the royal dockyard at Portsmouth meant they were able to secure naval shipping ranging from Royal Navy submarines and frigates down to unusual dockyard vessels and landing craft. In due course ships were also bought from the US and European navies. The emphasis of the business turned to ship trading – for example, landing craft might be resold to become ferries, minesweepers turned into Mediterranean pleasure craft, and lightships converted into floating restaurants. Vessels that could not be sold, lingered in the yard for many years – some Victorian ships lasted until well into the 1970s and beyond – but Pounds were also alert to the historical significance of the craft in their possession, some of which were donated to heritage organisations for long term conservation, a notable example being a Japanese Kairu midget submarine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pounds yard was a bizarre landscape and film companies were quick to see the potential of this unusual setting. Probably the most notable example was the 1974 film Tommy in which Pounds’ marker buoys were painted silver and to depict giant pinballs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fascinating family business, Pounds finally closed its doors in 2023. Although visitors were never encouraged, the author was permitted to visit and photograph the Pounds yard on many occasions. Furthermore, the Pounds family have also kindly lent him business records and their own photos and discussed many aspects of their story. Appendices on military vehicles and a detailed list of all ships bought since 1921 complete a comprehensive and authoritative account of an extraordinary enterprise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e    ","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67603472908462,"sku":"9781036133603","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/files\/9781036133603.jpg?v=1790745941"},{"product_id":"tragedy-and-revenge-the-battles-of-coronel-and-the-falklands-1914","title":"Tragedy and Revenge: The Battles of Coronel \u0026 the Falklands, 1914","description":"      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSteve Dunn\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eHardback\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e6.25\" x 9.25\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e320\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePhotos:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e125 mono illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSeaforth Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781036131883\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eItem No. 9781036131883\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Battle of Coronel on 1 November 1914, when Rear Admiral Sir Christopher Cradock and ships of his 4th Cruiser Squadron were out gunned and out matched by the German East Asiatic Squadron under Vice Admiral Maximilian Graf von Spee, was the worst British naval disaster for more 100 years; two ships, HMS Monmouth and Good Hope were lost with all hands, totalling more than 1,600 men, including Cradock. He went to his death in a forlorn hope, believing that if he could damage his opponent sufficiently to slow them down, superior forces could eventually be brought to bear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdmiral Sir John ‘Jacky’ Fisher, recently returned to the Admiralty as First Sea Lord immediately despatched two battlecruisers from the Grand Fleet to exact revenge under the command of Vice Admiral Doveton Sturdee, whom he detested and half expected to fail in this mission. And indeed, Sturdee’s force was surprised by von Spee’s ships while coaling at the Falkland Islands, but managed to get under way and perform the task for which Fisher had designed the battlecruisers: sweeping from the seas lesser craft by virtue of superior speed and gun power. The ships of the East Asiatic Squadron was sunk or scattered and von Spee and his two sons lost their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTragedy and Revenge details both the battles and the events leading up to them, with the use of eye-witness accounts. It examines the ships which fought on both sides and points up the inferiority of the forces at Cradock’s disposal, resources which Churchill insisted were fit for the task of destroying von Spee. The hopelessness felt by many of the Royal Navy participants in Cradock’s little squadron is related, as is Cradock’s story, alone in the Atlantic and Pacific, and his crisis of conscience whilst staying with the governor of the Falkland Islands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book also examines the leaders, Cradock, Churchill, Fisher, Sturdee and von Spee and the interplay of character between them. It demonstrates how Churchill’s interference, and the dispositions adopted by the Admiralty while Sturdee was Chief of the War Staff, led directly to the disaster at Coronel. The book evaluates the gap between the reality on the high seas and the perception held by those at the Admiralty, especially Churchill, and how this gap helped bring about a terrible tragedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e    ","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67603473367214,"sku":"9781036131883","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/files\/9781036131883.jpg?v=1790745964"},{"product_id":"ship-craft-7-british-battlecruisers-of-the-second-world-war-revised-edition","title":"Ship Craft 7 - British Battlecruisers of the Second World War: Revised edition","description":"      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSteve Backer\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003ePaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e8.25\" x 11.75\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e64\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePhotos:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e130 colour \u0026amp; mono photographs and lines drawings\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSeaforth Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781036153144\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eItem No. 9781036153144\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ShipCraft series provides in-depth information about building and modifying model kits of famous warship types. Lavishly illustrated, each book takes the modeller through a brief history of the subject class, highlighting differences between sisterships and changes in their appearance over their careers. This includes paint schemes and camouflage, featuring colour profiles and highly-detailed line drawings and scale plans. The modelling section reviews the strengths and weaknesses of available kits, lists commercial accessory sets for super-detailing of the ships, and provides hints on modifying and improving the basic kit. This is followed by an extensive photographic survey of selected high-quality models in a variety of scales, and the book concludes with a section on research references - books, monographs, large-scale plans and relevant websites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNumber 7 in this series, first published nearly 20 years ago, covers the three ships of this First World War type, Hood, Repulse and Renown, which survived to fight in the Second. Still the fastest capital ships in the world in 1939, their protection was not up to contemporary standards and two were famously lost in action. Hood in an old-fashioned gunnery duel, but Repulse succumbed to the more modern threat of aerial attack. The one modernised ship, Renown, survived an adventurous wartime career. This completely updated and revised new addition introduces new kits and models and lays before today's modeller's everything they need to build a kit of one of these famous Royal Navy ships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e    ","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67603603947694,"sku":"9781036153144","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/files\/9781036153144.jpg?v=1790746125"},{"product_id":"the-trafalgar-chronicle-dedicated-to-naval-history-in-the-nelson-era-new-series-10","title":"The Trafalgar Chronicle: Dedicated to Naval History in the Nelson Era: New Series 10","description":"      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eJudith Pearson\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003ePaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e5.75\" x 8.25\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e224\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePhotos:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e90 colour and b\/w paintings and line drawings\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSeaforth Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781036153205\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eItem No. 9781036153205\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Trafalgar Chronicle is the publication of choice for new research on the maritime world of the Georgian era, from 1714 to 1837.

Here, readers will find essays about the unique and far-reaching ways in which naval officers and administrators of the age of sail made crucial decisions and took often-courageous actions affecting their futures, their men, their fleets, their enemies, combat tactics and strategies, policies and regulations, and naval doctrine itself. Historians from five countries have contributed biographical portraits of naval officers at sea as they planned the disposition of their forces, prepared for battle, and adjusted their tactics. Additional articles provide analyses of naval leadership at the administrative level, in terms of policy and international relations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor general interest, this issue carries five articles on rarely-considered nuggets of Royal Navy history in the Georgian era: miniature ships, swords and dirks, naval magazines of the day, and war’s impact on a small seaside community, as well as how the Royal Navy faced the arduous task of establishing a garrison and gun battery on an island that was little more than a rock in the sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistorical research requires travel, correspondence, and hours pouring over relevant books, records, documents and newspapers, and searching for interconnected facts in archives, museums, churches, libraries, and websites.

During the preceding century the burgeoning industrial revolution, and the Royal Navy that emerged out of new technologies, had become entirely dependent on the precious ‘black diamonds’. When Queen Victoria had ascended the throne in 1837 ships were powered entirely by wind; by the end of her reign the navy was driven by coal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat happened in the intervening years forms the core of this new book. It is the story of a naval revolution greater than any that had gone before. Free and inexhaustible wind was replaced by expensive coal; ships became faster, their offensive capabilities more devastating and the Royal Navy’s control of the seas of Britain’s emerging empire undisputed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteve Dunn embraces a whole range of themes and topics to demonstrate how coal, at the very heart of this revolution, affected every aspect of the Navy. The impact of steam propulsion on ship design; the evolution of seamanship for iron ships; the establishment of coaling stations around the world; the mining and transportation of coal; that most hated of tasks, coaling ships; the challenges of working in the terrible heat of engine rooms; these are just some of the subjects elucidated in peace and during conflict. With its emphasis on the human as well as the technological aspects of the story, Coal Ship! offers fascinating insights into every aspect of the navy during the long period of Pax Britannica and during the First World War\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the outbreak of that war, Britain’s coal resources enabled the Royal Navy to safeguard Britain’s trade. The book details how in wartime colliers became warships, and the social impact of war on the coal mines which led to repeated industrial strife and nationalisation. It examines the problems in providing fuel to the Grand Fleet at Scapa Flow, and how coal became a weapon to enforce a blockade of Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of this story are ‘black diamonds’, the key element in the undisputed dominance of the Royal Navy; this new book tells that wide-ranging and compelling story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e    ","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67603807928494,"sku":"9781036192365","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/files\/9781036192365.jpg?v=1790746308"},{"product_id":"british-warships-in-the-age-of-sail-1793-1817-design-construction-careers-and-fates","title":"British Warships in the Age of Sail 1793-1817: Design, Construction, Careers and Fates","description":"      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eRif Winfield\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003ePaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9.75\" x 11.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e432\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSeaforth Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781036157135\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eItem No. 9781036157135\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen first published in 2005 this book was hailed as a major contribution to naval history, and its value as a reference work was reflected in the speed with which it went out of print.

In all, it is a fitting tribute to a navy that at the zenith of its power in 1809 comprised one half of all the warships in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e    ","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67603814940846,"sku":"9781036157135","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/files\/9781036157135.jpg?v=1790746355"},{"product_id":"shipcraft-36-akagi-and-kaga-japanese-aircraft-carriers","title":"ShipCraft 36: Akagi \u0026 Kaga: Japanese Aircraft Carriers","description":"      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eKerry Jang\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003ePaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e8.25\" x 11.75\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e64\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePhotos:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e60 colour illustrations, 40 mono illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSeaforth Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781036146627\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eItem No. 9781036146627\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ‘ShipCraft’ series provides in-depth information about building and modifying model kits of famous warship types. Lavishly illustrated, each book takes the modeller through a brief history of the subject, highlighting differences between ships and changes in their appearance over their careers. This includes paint schemes and camouflage, featuring colour profiles and highly detailed line drawings and scale plans. The modelling section reviews the strengths and weaknesses of available kits, lists commercial accessory sets for super-detailing of the subjects, and provides hints on modifying and improving the basic kit. This is followed by an extensive photographic gallery of selected high-quality models in a variety of scales, and the book concludes with a section on research references – books, monographs, large-scale plans and relevant websites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume covers the two largest carriers of the inter-war Imperial Japanese Navy, the ships that spearheaded the attack on Pearl Harbor and led the highly successful carrier operations that followed, before both were sunk in June 1942 at Midway, the battle that turned the tide of the Pacific War. Both were pioneering designs, built on the hulls of unfinished capital ships suspended under the terms of the Washington Treaty, and therefore subjected to significant and almost-continuous modification during the 1930s as aircraft characteristics became more demanding. The many alterations to both ships are covered in detail in this volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its unparalleled level of visual information – paint schemes, models, line drawings and photographs – this book is simply the best reference for any modelmaker setting out to build either of these iconic carriers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e    ","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67603817365678,"sku":"9781036146627","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/files\/9781036146627.jpg?v=1790746406"},{"product_id":"ship-craft-35-british-anti-aircraft-cruisers-c-class-dido-class-and-mercantile-conversions","title":"Ship Craft 35 - British Anti-Aircraft Cruisers: C Class, Dido Class and Mercantile Conversions","description":"      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-details\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eLes Brown\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003ePaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e8.25\" x 11.75\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e64\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePhotos:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e130 colour and b\/w photos and line drawings\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSeaforth Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-barcode\" class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-name\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 61, 61); font-weight: bold; padding-right: 10px\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-detail-text\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e9781036153175\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-sku\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eItem No. 9781036153175\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cdiv id=\"product-description\" style=\"text-indent: 25px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ‘Ship Craft’ series provides in-depth information about building and modifying model kits of famous warship types.
