This book, first published in 1982, brings together for the first time accounts of the fates of some of those extinct monsters of the seas – the battleships. It catalogues the sinkings of major ships from the Italian Re d'Italia in 1866 to the end of the battleship era and the rise of the carriers in World War II. The result is a valuable contribution to naval history as navies moved from the age of sail to the present day.
