Based on the "The War at Sea" by Gordon Smith, published by Ian
Allan 1989 |

"an invaluable reference book on the
war at sea .... as well as an informative guide to naval
strategy", Lloyds List
"enormously helpful and a great
time-saver" .... "I only wish it had come out about four years
ago" - John Terraine, Sunday Telegraph
"... a remarkable book. ... For
the researcher or professional reader, "The War at Sea" will be
invaluable. The general reader .... will benefit from having the
whole picture explained .... and .... from the simplicity and
conciseness of the information and its presentation" - Ships
