In 1914, the Royal Navy was the largest in the world, as the 'two power standard' meant that it had to be equal to the combined strength of any two other fleets. Yet, the Royal Navy had also suffered from almost a century without war. This handbook tells the story of how the 'Senior Service' adapted to the demands of war.
DAVID WRAGG has written many books on railway, aviation and defence subjects, including Wartime on the Railways, The Southern Railway Story, The LMS Story and The Steam Locomotive Story (all The History Press). He has also written on these subjects for The Sunday Telegraph, The Spectator and The Scotsman.
