    Synopsis
    Provides the definitive overview of Russian and Soviet battleships, from the ironclad Petr Velikii of 1869 to Stalin's final projects. Meticulously researched, this work describes and illustrates the design histories, technical details, characteristics, and service histories of the forty battleships that served in the Russian and Soviet Navies., Russian and Soviet Battleships is the definitive English language overview of Russian and Soviet battleships, from the ironclad Petr Velikii of 1869 to Stalin's final projects. Meticulously researched, this work describes and illustrates the design histories, technical details, characteristics, and service histories of the forty seagoing battleships that served in the Russian and Soviet Navies. This is the first book about Russian battleships to draw from Russian language materials, including books and articles published since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Some one hundred drawings of ships and design studies, many specially commissioned for this book, are showcased, as well as one hundred photographs, many of them never published in the west. The author, Stephen McLaughlin, analyzes all aspects of battleship design, from the policy decisions behind their construction to details of fire control and gunnery. He evaluates their strengths and weaknesses compared with foreign contemporaries. In addition, McLaughlin outlines numerous projected battleships and conjectural studies. As he examines the active-and often tragic-careers of these ships, he reassesses many of the myths and misconceptions associated with Russian ships and the Russian navy.

    • Battleships Russian Style

      This is an excellent foundational book on Russian battleships, both those serving under the Tsars and later governments. English language books on the subject are scarce, good ones even more so, which makes this even more welcome. The focus is technical, not historical, so the reader is treated to not only the details of the ships as built but also to the thinking behind the design so one may understand why a ship turned out how it did. Extensive use is made of Russian sources, which fills in many gaps and debunks myths and errors. Of special interest is the attention given to 'never were' designs, both those of ships laid down but never completed and those that never got off the drawing boards. The book is well illustrated with both drawings and photos, not only of the built ships ...
