The Fighting Ship, by Bernard Brett, Oxford University Press. From the ships that carried the Greeks to the Siege of Troy — triakonters and pentekonters — to the evolution of the battleship and submarines, to frigates used in the Falklands: this beautifully Illustrated guide to fighting ships would be a joy to those interested in the subject. What makes it interesting reading, as, well as very informative, is the diary accounts of seamen accompanying details of famous ships. Navigation is explained, as are “ops rooms,” missiles, rank insignia, and the international code of signals. A collector’s item for those who feel the lure of the sea and the ships that have sailed on Rosemary Brader.
