HMS Vanguard 1944 - 1960 by Neil McCart HMS Vanguard marked the pinnacle of British battleship design. Completed at the end of the second world war, she was too late to see active service and joined the fleet at a time when the battleship had been superceded by the aircraft carrier as the capital ship of the modern navy. Despite her short career the name Vanguard still evokes pride in all those who served on her or who were associated with her. This book details her career from builders yard to shipbreakers, drawing on first hand accounts and many previously unpublished photographs. |
Nelson and Rodney 1927 - 1949. The Big Battleships by Neil McCart. Born out of the post war restrictions imposed by the Washington Treaty, plans were drawn up for just two 33,000 ton battleships, which would be armed with nine 16-inch guns and which would be shortened versions of the four cancelled battlecruisers. So unique would be the design of the proposed new battleships that throughout their careers they would be instantly recognisable the world over. In honour of two famous Naval Admirals, they would be named Nelson and Rodney. This book details their career from builders yard to shipbreakers, drawing on first hand accounts and many previously unoublished photographs. |
The Battleship Warspite - Anatomy of the Ship by Ross Watton. The Anatomy of the Ship series provides documentation of individual ships and ship types. The books are illustrated with line drawings, both the conventional type of plan as well as explanatory views, with fully descriptive keys. These are supported by technical details and a record of the ships service history. HMS Warspite was arguably one of the finest capital ship designs of all time. Warspite and her four sister ships of the Queen Elizabeth class were the prototypes of the modern fast battleship, the ultimate development of the Dreadnought type. Warspite had one of the most active and successful fighting careers. Her service spanned two generations from Jutland in 1916, the last great surface engagement between battle fleets, where she received many hits, to the dawn of the missile age (she was badly damaged by a guided bomb in 1943) with battle honours that also included Narvik, Matapan and the D-Day landings. The Old Lady, as she was affectionately known during World War II, was finally approved for breaking up in 1946. |
HMS Hood Opens Fire, May 24th, 1941 by Marii Chernev. a tribute by artist Marii Chernev, to the men of the Royal Navys most famous ship, the battlecruiser HMS Hood and all the Royal Navy veterans who fought in the cold waters of the North Atlantic during World War II. Of a crew of over 1500 able bodied seamen, only three survived the thunderous blast as the German battleship Bismarcks fifth salvo found the lightly protected magazine of the Hood. Over 100 tons of powder exploded in a spectacular fireball that split the pride of the Royal Navy in two. |
HMS Hood by Robert Taylor. HMS Hood ablaze after its magazine was hit by a salvo from the DKM Bismark, May 24, 1941 One of the rarest of the early Robert Taylor prints, published in 1980, we have one secondary market print available. The eidition was not numbered. The print is in fair condition, with only a slight crease, and a mark on the border. The colours on the print and the signature have not faded much at all, as the print was kept framed and in a corridor out of sunlight. Fading is normally an issue with these older prints, so it is rare to find one with very good colour. |
