For around 400 years, the great battleships with their fearsome cannons were regarded as the navy's greatest achievement. They were not only an important instrument of warfare, but also a visible symbol of a nation's power, wealth and pride. In the meantime, the role of battleships has been taken over by aircraft carriers and nuclear-powered submarines, but their place in history remains secure. This comprehensive work tells the story of the 52 most important battleships in the world - from the 16th century Portuguese galleon San Martín to the British HMS Vanguard, which was launched in 1946 and is considered to be the last battleship in the world. In addition to a wealth of information and data, the book contains more than 200 illustrations and photos showing each of the warships presented from different perspectives.
