Warship 12

Warship started out as a quarterly publication of historical and technical essays of incredible value and merit to serious students of fighting ships. While it has in recent years moved to an annual format, it remains the "periodical" that deserves a space on your reference bookshelf long after it has been read the first time. It is the scholarly companion to more accessible publications such as Naval History, acting as Scientific American to their Popular Science and focusing more on the machinery and technology and less on the human side of naval conflict, although this is not a dogmatic characteristic.Issue no. 12 The First of the Super-Carriers: USS United States - Norman Friedman The 18inch Gun in British Monitors - I A Buxton The King George V Class - Robert Dumas A's and A's P49 - John Roberts U48: Germany's Top-Scoring Submarine - Pierre Hervieux Warship Pictorial: Guns of the Ironclads Frigate Design in the 18th Century - Robert Gardiner British Super-Heavy Guns - N J M Campbell Technical Topics: Roughness and Fouling - David K Brown
