Clydebank Battlecruisers & A Shipyard at War

Although much has been written and debated about the combat effectiveness (or lack thereof) of the Royal Navy's battlecruisers, Clydebank Battlecruisers focuses on the prehistory of these ships. Depicting the five battlecruisers built by John Brown shipyard (Inflexible, Australia, Tiger, Repulse, and Hood) between 1906 and 1920, the majority of the book consists of rare photographs of the ships scanned directly from the original glass plate negatives, showing their construction, launching, fitting out, and steam trials.
