Russian Battleships and Cruisers of the Russo-Japanese War (Osprey)

This book examines the major warships of the Imperial Russian Navy which participated in the Russo-Japanese War. The focus is on the battleships, coastal defence warships, and cruisers of the Pacific Squadron and Baltic Squadron that fought during the war. It discusses in detail their design and development between the years of 1885 and 1905, concentrating particularly on battleships and cruisers.

The book explores, in depth, the mutually influential relationship between Russian and foreign warship design, as Russia progressed from a reliance on foreign designs and shipyards towards an ability to produce its own influential ships, such as the Novik.
The title also outlines the gripping operational history of the Russian warships which participated in the Russo-Japanese war, tracing their activity before and during the combat, as well as the post-war fate of those ships which were bombarded, scuttled, captured, or salvaged.

Packed with contemporary photography and full-colour illustrations, this title offers a detailed and definitive guide to the design, development, and destiny of the Russian warships which battled the Japanese in the Eastern seas.

Russian Battleship vs Japanese Battleship - Yellow Sea 1904-05 (Osprey)

The first major clash between a European and Asian state in the modern era signalled the beginning of Japan's rise as a major power on the world stage. Watched by the rest of the world's superpowers, this incredibly violent war was disastrous for the Russians who, despite their superior numbers, were defeated by the Japanese underdogs in a spectacular fashion. The key technical elements of firepower, protection, maneuverability and communications for each side are covered in detail and accompanied by first-hand accounts and specially commissioned artwork to explain and illustrate this historically significant duel.

Contents: Introduction - Chronology - Design and development - Technical Specifications: Firepower (main and secondary batteries, fire control, ammunition), protection (armour belts, quality of steel, damage control), Maneuverability (speed, turning ability, sea keeping), communications (internal within ship, with other battleships) - The Combatants: The Japanese Battleship Crew (Composition, individual and crew training, morale, strengths
weaknesses and fleet doctrine), The Russian Battleship crew (same as above) - Combat - Aftermath.

Super-Battleships of World War II: Montana-class, Lion-class, H-class, A-150 and Sovetsky Soyuz-class (Osprey)

At the start of World War II the battleship was still king, and all the major powers were designing even mightier battleships to surpass their most modern and powerful classes. But when World War II broke out, aircraft carriers would dominate naval warfare, and none of these monster warships were completed.

In this book, naval expert Mark Stille uncovers these lost battleships as they are reconstructed with superb new full-colour artwork. The US Navy wanted five Montana-class ships, based on the Iowas but with a heavier main battery and improved protection, and the Royal Navy began work on three 16in-gun Lion-class fast battleships.
The German Navy developed its H-class designs: initially an improved Bismack-class, they became more fantastical, culminating in the 141,500-ton, 20in-gun H-44. The Japanese A-150 was based on the Yamato-class but with 20.1in guns, while the 15 ships planned for the USSR's Sovetsky Soyuz-class would have rivalled the Montanas in size.
Explaining the design, intended roles and fate of these ships, this is the story of the last battleship designs in history.

Alliierte Schlachtschiffe - England, Frankreich und UdSSR 1939-1945 (Typenkompass)

Die Flottenbegeisterung von Wilhelm II. mündete in einem Wettrüsten auf See, denn seine Schlachtflotte galt ihm als Symbol der Weltgeltung. In diesem Typenkompass wird die deutsche Kriegsmarine der Kaiserzeit hervorragend und systematisch vorgestellt.
Deutsche Grosskampfschiffe und Kreuzer während des Ersten Weltkriegs und Dickschiffe der kaiserlichen Marine porträtiert Robert Rosentreter mit Namen, Typen, Bewaffnungen, technischen Daten, Werdegang und Verbleib.

Nach 1918 verloren die Schlachtschiffe zwar an Bedeutung, doch insbesondere in England und Frankreich liefen weiterhin die prestigeträchtigen Grosskampfschiffe vom Stapel. Das Aufkommen der U-Boot-Waffe und der Flugzeugträger wies den schwimmenden Festungen allerdings ihre Grenzen auf, dennoch spielten sie im Zweiten Weltkrieg noch eine wesentliche Rolle.
Ingo Bauernfeind zeigt in diesem Typenkompass die Grosskampfschiffe der Alliierten mit wichtigen Einsatzdaten, technischen Angaben und aussagestarken Bildern.
Jeder Typ wird anhand eines Fotos, einer historischen Beschreibung und eines technischen Datenblatts vorgestellt.
