This book tells not only of her battles, but also of her life between them, of the admirals whose flags she flew, and of the men who served in her. It tells of her building, of contemporary ship design, of her refits and modifications and how much each cost, and of those who built her. Indissolubly tied up with her story are the wars of Europe, without which she would not have been needed, and in which she played a not insignificant part. |
