Hehh, who doesn't love armored warships with big guns?? ;) This book has a lot of technical and historical details (complemented by drawings, paintings and photographs) about virtually all the classes of battleships that ever existed since around the XIX century, a must read for warship enthusiasts.

This is a must have if you are interested in battleships. This book excellently summarizes the long history of battleships and lists most of the battleships in existence. This book is quite large, which means that you won't have to strain your eyes to look at the pictures and text.
