The aim of Seaforth books is to produce the very best maritime books, whether they be narrative histories, definitive reference works, ship monographs or modeling books; and as well as reflecting the very latest research they are also designed and printed to the highest standards. Some have made significant contributions to the field, but we hope that all of them will make worthwhile additions to any collector's bookshelf.
"It surpasses previous books on this subject, many of which are in any case out of print, and can therefore be considered to fall into the essential category for a wide range of readers. This is especially so in the case of the heavy mountings that form the largest part of the text, illustrations and drawings and, since we are unlikely ever to see their like again, this book may well become the last word on the subject. I thoroughly recommend it."

"Conrad Waters clearly put a great deal of study and research into the creation of this remarkable book...Anyone with an interest in the development of warships in general and British cruisers from the late 1930s onwards will, therefore, find this to be an excellent reference source...I would highly recommend it."
