LINE OF BATTLE (Conway's History of the Ship) - Softcover
Reseña del editor
Although purpose built fighting ships had existed earlier, the principal characteristics of the classic sailing warship were defined in the mid-seventeenth century, and the line of battle ship became ever more distinct. Alongside came the greater specialisation of the fleets and the evolution of the frigate and the adaptation of myriad types of craft for naval use. The story of these developments is clearly elucidated in this paperback volume.

Softcover. Zustand: Near Fine. No Jacket. As New softcover book no dustjacket. First edition. Large format with pictorial glossy covers. No inscriptions or other markings, unread. 208pp. Synopsis from introduction - In 1672 the English and French combined to attack the Nether lands by land and sea. By this time the English people had no wish for this kind of war, and the naval part of the campaign was not particularly successful. England made a separate peace in 1674, though the land war between France and the Netherlands continued until 1678. The Dutch succeeded in retaining their indepen dence, but at great cost. After the power of France revived under Louis XIV, they had to look continually at the possibility of an invasion by land, and their days as a great sea power were over. Furthermore, warships were increasing in size, and Dutch harbours and coastal waters were too shallow to allow them to build bigger ships. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 204350

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Book condition is Very good. Soft cover. No dust jacket. 1st edition, published 1992. Book boards clean and unmarked front and back of book. Book block clean and unmarked all sides of the book. Spine intact. Text body clean throughout the book, except the ex-owner has put black texture to cover the ex-owner details on the first fly leaf page. Overall a great and neat copy of the book. See photos for more information. Although purpose-built fighting ships had existed earlier, the principal characteristics of the classic sailing warship were defined in the mid-seventeenth century, when the emergence of strong central governments, as in Cromwell's Commonwealth or the French of Louis XlV, combined with the novel line-ahead tactics to produce for the first time national fleet of reasonable similar line-of battleships. As the battleship became more distinct, the need for a specialised cruising ship became apparent - particularly as Warfare became more global - and from this the frigate was born. Gradually during the period, myriad of crafts were adapted for naval use and the central emphasis of this volume is on the increasing specialisation of the fleet and the evolution of each ship type, down to the period when the installation ifbthe steam engine sparked another revolution in tactics and technology.
