Description:
The Royal Navy's battleships at the turn of the 20th century were the most powerful battlefleet in the world, and embodied one of the key periods in warship development - the development of the dreadnought battleship.


The term 'pre-dreadnought' was applied in retrospect, to describe the capital ships built during the decade and a half before the launch of HMS Dreadnought in 1906. At that moment these once great warships were rendered obsolete. However, until then, they were simply called 'battleships' and were unquestionably the most powerful warships of their day. These mighty warships represented the cutting edge of naval technology. The ugly ducklings of the ironclad era had been transformed into beautiful swans, albeit deadly ones.


In Britain, this period was dominated by Sir William White, the Navy's Chief Constructor. Under his guidance the mastless battleships of the 1880s gave way to an altogether more elegant type of capital ship. The period of trial and error which marked the ironclad era ushered in a more scientific style of naval architecture. As a result, these battleships were among the most powerful warships in the world during the late Victorian era, and set a benchmark for the new battle fleets produced by navies such as Japan, Russia and the United States.


Illustrated throughout with full-colour artwork, this fascinating study offers a detailed and definitive guide to the design, development and legacy of the Royal Navy's battleships at the turn of the 20th century as they paved the way for the coming of the Dreadnought.

Good shirt
Number of Items: 2, Color: Purple, Size: X-Small
I had to return this shirt but it wasn’t because of the quality of the shirt. It was simply too big and I didn’t order the right size. The shirt itself was very soft and great purple color. And I like that you get 2 for so cheap!

Color and structure holding up through multiple launderings!
Number of Items: 2, Color: Jade Dome, Size: Small
My son is in a "Steve from Minecraft" phase, so I'm buying multiple turquoise shirts for the sake of being able to launder them while not taking away the clothing he loves. These are comfortable, soft, fit as expected, and the collars are not stretching out and warping despite multiple launderings. Would purchase Gildan brand again based on my experience with these shirts.

WAY too big 😞
Number of Items: 2, Color: White, Size: Small
I ordered a youth small (what my 6 year old usually wears) and it fits more like an adult small. Needed this for a costume and couldn't use since it swallowed her whole. Not worth returning because I would use about that much in gas.

Take note of the sizing
Number of Items: 2, Color: White, Size: Small, Number of Items: 2, Color: White, Size: Small
These are really great quality tshirts but the sizing was really confusing. I ordered these for my 13 year old granddaughter but I couldn’t tell if I was ordering kid sizing or adult. I took a chance and ordered these small hoping this was adult sizing and I was right. I am always happy with the quality of this brand and their cotton shirts but they need to do a better job explaining the sizing.
