The most complete encyclopedia of battleships of the Second World War - from the pocket-sized Deutschland to the titanic Yamato, from the "old" Schleiswig-Holstein, which remembered the Battle of Jutland, to the ultra-modern Iowa. Exhaustive information about ALL without exception line ships of all countries that participated in the hostilities - not only the great naval powers (Great Britain, USA, Japan, France, Italy, Third Reich, USSR), but also minor fleets (Argentina, Brazil, Turkey, Sweden, Chile).
All about the "swan song" of the Lord of the Seas and how His Majesty the Battleship was dethroned by aircraft carriers: of the 28 battleships and line cruisers sunk between 1939 and 1945, exactly half were destroyed by aircraft. And even though the era of armored giants was nearing its end, they left with glory, at last "slamming the door loudly" - what is worth at least the legendary epic "Bismarck" and "Tirpitz" or the heroic death of "Yamato". And it is extremely symbolic that World War II, which began with the shelling of Westerplatte by the battleship Schleswig-Holstein, ended with the signing of the Japanese surrender on board the battleship Missouri....
