This is a good handbook containing Battlecruisers, Dreadnoughts and Super Dreadnoughts as well as some Coast Defence Ships. There are also some ships of the cancelled post-War designs. The photos are good, the deck plans and line drawings are of high standards. As this book deals with minor navies as well as the six big navies, it is an excellent purchase.

Generally effective book, similar to the Osprey military history books that emerged roughly about the same time. In this case, focusing on a particular class of corvette, the ship that bore the brunt of dealing with the U-Boats during the Battle of the Atlantic. Solid book.
