THE BRITISH HAWKINS CLASS CRUISERS: An Odyssey Through Two World Wars
During WWI, rumors of heavily-armed German raiders led to the building of the first modern heavy cruisers by the Royal Navy; they provided the prototypes for the Washington Treaty cruisers during the 1920s, with two of them also pioneering the use of the catapult for launching aircraft from cruisers. Fully illustrated, some in color.
