A complete anatomy of the ship in words, photographs and drawings. This series aims to provide the finest documentation of individual ships and ship types ever published. It is a radical departure from the usual monograph approach which concentrates on either the ships service history, its technical details of external appearance. Although elaborate drawings are extremely popular in aviation publications this is the first attempt to document a ship in similar depth - literally down to the nuts and bolts. The drawings are accurate, visually exciting and totally comprehensive offering ship buffs, historians and model makers a novel insight into the technicalities of each ship covered.
