Jane`s war at sea, 1897-1997. 100 years of Jane`s fighting ships
Year: 1997 Language: English Author: Ireland, Bernad Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages + text layer Number of pages: 264 Description: Fred T. Jane published the first edition of Fighting Ships in 1897. The first authoritative encyclopedia of warships, it listed all the fighting ships of all the world's navies. As an index of naval power it was in enormous demand at the beginning of this century when the Anglo-German naval race fuelled a worldwide enthusiasm for battleship construction. Successive annual editions charted the expansion of the German navy and the British retaliation, the revolutionary battleships Dreadnought and South Carolina and the appearance of increasingly capable submarines in the leading navies of the day. Although publication of Jane's Fighting Ships was interrupted during both World Wars, its pages recorded the enormous developments in naval technology during the twentieth century. Jane's War at Sea explains how warship design developed from the latter days of the Victorian navy to the nuclear-powered submarines and aircraft carriers that dominate today.
