About This Item

Annapolis; (2001): Naval Institute Press. First American Edition. Quarto. 224pp., The author gives insight into the difficulties faced by warship designers in an age of rapid technological change, and sets out the valid strategic and technical reasons that lay behind such seemingly reactionary policies as the fitting of sails in cruising ironclads, and the Navy's retention of muzzle-loading guns well into the 1880s. Illustrated with photographic images and reproductions of building plans. Bound in maroon cloth, spine lettering gilt. A fine copy in fine pictorial dust jacket.
