Battleship Tirpitz : Naval History Special Edition
Verlag: US Naval Institute Press Nov 2022, 2022
ISBN 10: 1591148707ISBN 13: 9781591148708
Buch
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Building upon the expertise of the authors and historians of the Naval Institute Press, the Naval History Special Editions are designed to offer studies of the key vessels, battles, and events of armed conflict. Using an image-heavy, magazine-style format, these Special Editions should appeal to scholars, enthusiasts, and general readers alike. In 1939 the battleship was the queen of the seas. Battleships were designed to project power. They were the biggest and most powerful ships afloat, they were the yardstick by which the world judged naval strength. Within this context, the German battleship Tirpitz was one of the most effective instruments of naval power ever deployed. The British called her the Beast. She spent the greater part of the Second World War tucked away in isolated fjords north of the Arctic Circle. She sortied only three times and never fired her guns at an enemy warship. Yet, against this menace the British exerted unequaled effort. At all times they kept a pair of modern battleships standing by to face her should she sail; they built mini-submarines to attack at source; they repeatedly massed aircraft carrier strike forces in futile efforts to knock her from the war. At last, they invented massive ordnance and sent their heaviest bombers against her, sinking the Beast after three years of sustained effort. The remarkable career of this remarkable ship is the subject of this authoritative and heavily illustrated Special Edition. It considers Tirpitz's design, her construction, her historical context and all of her operations. The power of this individual ship and the influence she exerted on the entire course of the war makes for an enlightening as a demonstration of the sometimes very unexpected way Sea Power can be expressed'.

Heavy Cruiser Prinz Eugen : Naval History Special Edition
Verlag: US Naval Institute Press Okt 2022, 2022
ISBN 10: 1591148723ISBN 13: 9781591148722
Buch
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The German heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen was a remarkable vessel by any standard. She was arguably one of the most handsome major warships ever constructed. The third ship of the Admiral Hipper-class and named for a French hero of the Austrian Empire, the ship represented the spirit and tradition of the old Austro-Hungarian Royal and Imperial navy. She participated in some of the most interesting naval actions of World War II in European waters including the Battle of the Denmark Strait where she helped the German battleship Bismarck sink the British battlecruiser Hood, and the Channel Dash ten months later when she sailed through the English Channel in broad daylight, successfully repelling British sea and air attacks along the way. She fought the Russians in the Baltic and was the largest German warship to survive the war'.
