Battleship

by H.P. Willmott

The first dreadnought battleship was launched in 1906; the last was tied up for the final time at Pearl Harbor in 1998. During the years between, these powerful ships played major roles in both World Wars and in many decisive battles. The story of these battleships represents an important chapter in the more than four-hundred year story of naval warfare.
