The perfect title

This book is a very good, general overview of the history of warships. A reader would be hard pressed to find a better, single source GENERAL overview of the history of warships. Granted, if a reader wants to compare and contrast types of guns, etc., this is not the book. If you need a single source book to quickly determine the histoy of a warship type, this is it. The author named his book well.
