Description | British warships by G. H. Davis |
Details |
All that goes to produce a great British warship's 'battle thunder': cold science behind the big guns. From the captain's quietly spoken order to the pulling of the pistol-trigger, an outline of successive stages in firing a super-dreadnought's 16-inch guns; processes involved in the gunnery exercises scheduled to follow the Naval Review.
