  • Another quality Haynes Manual

    This is an essential read for anyone interested in the Royal Navy. As well as technical info on the ship you get a background on the politics and disagreements between other Navies when trying to design and build a ship for several countries, which leads the UK to go it alone. Would like to see books like this for other Royal Navy ship types like Type 23 Frigate and Invincible class carriers or the newest, Queen Elizabeth class.

    The quality of the book is excellent, the layout and contents are clear and very readable. The explanations of many of the engineering processes is extremely helpful and the illustrations excellent.
