The Royal Navy in Action presents a compelling collection of marine art spanning the years 1914 2021. Some paintings by well-known British artists like Eurich, Wilkinson, and Wyllie have appeared in other books, but most are less well known and fresh. These dramatic and evocative depictions have been superbly chosen and attractively reproduced. They are supported by a running text describing actions by the Royal Navy over the last century.

Warship Annual - 2023

Although ships and the sea are the stars of the show, the two paintings of WRNS at work, at the end of the book serve as a reminder of the human element behind the Navy in Action. Finally, the accompanying text not only covers the essential of the conflicts depicted very well but gives them a slant with which the reader might otherwise be unfamiliar. This is a book which should be hung on gallery walls.

It would be difficult to find a better artistic collection on the Royal Navy during one of the most critical periods in its history.
