Year: 1972 Language: English Author: Smith P.C. Genre: History Publisher: Almark Publishing ISBN: 0 85524 082 2, 0 85524 083 0 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 84 Description: Battle Cruiser. The name conjures up many pictures in one’s mind. Sleek, enormous warships steaming at full speed through the tumbling water of the grey North Sea. A quiet, powerful vessel, brasswork gleaming, slipping out of Gibraltar Bay. The split-second annihilation of a thousand men in a searing explosion of fire and flame. The Battle Cruiser story is all these and more. Their life-span was among the briefest of any warship type but in a forty-year period they graced the world’s oceans and captured the imagination of seaman and landsman alike. To obtain the true flavour of life aboard the Battle Cruiser in all its many facets one should read With the Battle Cruisers by Filson Young or The Mighty Hood By Ernle Bradford. This little book cannot convey that flavour but is an attempt to record in one compact volume, the background story of the British Battle Cruiser while the selection of photographs will, it is hoped, provide a lasting record of the grandeur and majesty of these great vessels
