Campbell, N. J. M.

distributed by Sky Books Press

Encyclopedic in scope and meticulously researched, this comprehensive, heavily illustrated single-volume reference, first published in 1985, is now back in print by popular demand. Listed by country, the book covers guns, mountings, torpedoes, mines, antisubmarine and aerial weapons, and the earliest naval missiles for all Allied and Axis nations and even minor powers not directly involved in the war. Weapons of earlier vintage employed during the war and those in experimental stages in 1945 are also outlined. A summary of the economic and political factors affecting naval armament design and procurement introduces the national sections that provide detailed weapon descriptions, tabular specifications, design and performance history, number manufactured, and notations of which ships or aircraft carried the weapons. Some 500 photographs and line drawings accompany the text. Its size, scope, and originality of presentation make John Campbell's work a reference without equal.

Here is the authoritative work on the great sea battle of World War I. 
The Battle of Jutland has produced more inconclusive controversy from historians and naval officers than any other modern sea fight. Jutland aims to complete the historical record, by analyzing damage reports, ammunition expenditures, and the individual actions of the involved ships. 
John Campbell, a scientist by training, has analyzed the wealth of material available from both the British and German navies and sheds light on a host of technical questions, such as how various ships stood up to damage, and the quality of ships gunnery. 
Jutland proved to be the last great battle of battleships. With WWII came the rise of air power and the aircraft carrier. However, the legacy of Jutland and the era when great ships fought one another for domincance on the seas is still with us today. This book is must reading for history buffs and maritime experts alike.
