Synopsis
Some of the most iconic naval battles of World War II involved head-to-head encounters between immensely powerful British and German battleships. Among these were the sinking of the Bismarck in May 1941, and the clash between Scbarnhorst and HMS Duke of York at North Cape in December 1943. In this superbly illustrated analysis, naval expert Angus Konstam documents these major battles and compares the German capital ships Bismarck and Tirpitz, and Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, with those of the Royal Navy King George V class and the two-ship Nelson class. The author describes the changing ways in which the immense firepower of the battleship was directed during this period, and examines developments in naval technology, such as radar, fire control and naval airpower, that ultimately contributed to the battleship's demise. The big guns of these powerful warships are also explored, including turret design, ordnance-and the development of integrated gunnery direction systems, which raised naval gunnery to a more sophisticated level resulting in clashes between British and German battleships becoming increasingly uncommon. Book jacket., This book uses the latest historical and marine archeological research to present a novel, comparative exploration of an ever-popular subject: the epic clashes of British and German surface battleships during World War II. At the outbreak of World War II, the four key Capital German ships comprised the Bismarck, Tirpitz , Scharnhorst, and Gneisenau . Their primary threats where the Royal Navy's King George V-class battleships, the most modern British battleships in commission during World War II and some of the Navy's most powerful vessels. Five ships of this class were built: HMS King George V, Prince of Wales , Duke of York, Howe (late 1942) and Anson (late 1942). The powerful vessels in this class would clash with the pride of the Kriegsmarine in two major engagements: first, during the Battle of the Denmark Strait and subsequent pursuit of the Bismarck between 24 and 27 May 1941, and again at the Battle of the North Cape on 26 December 1943. Alongside the King George V class, the Royal Navy's two--ship Nelson--class ( Nelson and Rodney ), comprised Britain's only other battleships built in the interwar years. Both ships served extensively in the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Indian oceans during the war, but their moment of fame came when Rodney (together with King George V ) chased down and bombarded the doomed Bismarck in May 1941. This superbly detailed addition to the Duel series compares and contrasts the design and development of these opposing capital ships, and describes the epic clashes on the high seas that ended with the destruction of the Kriegsmarine's major naval assets., This book uses the latest historical and marine archeological research to present a novel, comparative exploration of an ever-popular subject: the epic clashes of British and German surface battleships during World War II., At the outbreak of World War II, the four key Capital German ships comprised the Bismarck, Tirpitz , Scharnhorst and Gneisenau .
