HMS Vanguard 1944-1960 : Britain's Last Battleship / Neil McCart

United Kingdom : Maritime Books, 2001

HMS Vanguard marked the pinnacle of British battleship design. Completed at the end of the second World War she was too late to see active service and joined the fleet at a time when the battleship had been superceded by the sircraft carrier as the capital ship of the modern navy. Despite her short career the name Vanguard still evokes pride in all those who served on her or who were associated with her. This book details her career from builders yard to shipbreakers, drawing on first hand accounts and many previously unpublished photographs.
