About This Book

The work offers a chronological, illustrated survey of the evolution of the British battle fleet, moving through design phases labeled the Barnaby, White, and Watts eras and culminating in the Dreadnought revolution. It explains shifting naval doctrines and shipbuilding responses—armament, armour, turrets, propulsion, and tactical arrangements—and covers the emergence of submarines, naval aviation, and auxiliary forces. Technical diagrams, plans, and colour and photographic illustrations accompany discussions of ship classes, notable design experiments, and broader organizational and operational matters that shaped modern capital-ship development.

THE END.

Transcriber’s Notes

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced.

Armament and other sizes and quantities were printed in inconsistent ways.

Illustrations in this eBook have been positioned between paragraphs and outside quotations. In versions of this eBook that support hyperlinks, the page references in the List of Illustrations lead to the corresponding illustrations.

Footnotes, originally at the bottoms of the pages that referenced them, have been collected, sequentially renumbered, and placed near the end of the book, just before the index.

In the original two-volume set, the index for both volumes was printed at the end of the second volume. The Transcriber has copied that index to the first volume. In versions of this ebook that support hyperlinks, both copies of the index link to pages in both volumes, by referencing the Project Gutenberg copy of the other volume. Those links to the other volume are double-underlined, and generally will work only within a Browser.

Many alphebetization errors in the index were remedied, but some may remain. Page references in the index were checked automatically, but some may be incorrect.

Page 28: The table contains an asterisk for which there is no matching footnote.
