This volume brings to completion the reissue of R.A. Burt's three-volume history of British battleships, and it covers the pre-dreadnought era which has, in recent years, acquired a new and fervent following. - The Russian war scare of 1884 and the public's anxiety about the Royal Navy's ability to fight a modern war at sea resulted in the Naval Defence Act of 1889 and a vast programme of warship construction.
