{"product_id":"v-w-destroyers-john-henshaw-9781526774828","title":"V \u0026 W Destroyers: A Developmental History","description":"The revolutionary battleship Dreadnought of 1906 brought together in one package the new technology of oil fired boilers and steam turbines, and all-big-gun armament; in doing so she rendered all other capital ships then afloat completely obsolete. Ten years later the V\u0026amp;W Class did to destroyers what the dreadnoughts had done to battleships: they set a completely new and higher standard of technology and were a cut above anything that had come before. They were, however, less revolutionary than evolutionary and in this new book John Henshaw takes the reader through all the developmental stages with a detailed history of the step-by-step lessons that were learned, not all of which were fortuitous. The narrative is superbly illustrated with forty-five detailed profile and deck plans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Henshaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526774828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526774828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e US Naval Institute Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.76lbs","brand":"John Henshaw","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43978326999295,"sku":"9781526774828","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d52530b8-e60a-4298-9695-acd9dcdb80b1.jpg?v=1683240922","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/v-w-destroyers-john-henshaw-9781526774828","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
