Opis z okładki:

Certain to become the definitive work, this book is a major step forward in the study of the sailing warship. For the first time, the development of the line-of-battle ship is described precisely, in terms of individual ships and classes, highlighting the factors influencing specific changes in design. This sophisticated approach allows the author to tackle a great many myths - such as the static -nature of eighteen-century design, or the pre-eminence of French naval architecture - and history conclusions challenge the accepted view in many areas of naval history. For the enthusiast and academic alike, The Ship of the Line is essential reading for a better understanding of the navy in the age of sail.
