At the same time, new explosive shells were developed, replacing cannonballs, and no wooden ship could withstand them. In response to these shells, a new class of self-propelled, armored "ironclads" was invented and quickly revolutionized naval warfare. A comprehensive look at the makeup of these "ironclad" warships.A technical view of the powerful weaponry that compelled these radical innovations.A look at the historic battles that proved the necessity of engines and armor.A discussion of the new tactics employed by nineteenth-century navies and the revival of an old classic -- the "ram.", Paperback, Label: Harper Perennial, Harper Perennial, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 2006-05-02, Freigegeben: 2006-05-02, Studio: Harper Perennial, Verkaufsrang: 2119307.

history,military,military science,naval, History of Warfare: War at Sea in the Ironclad Age, Navies once had to depend on the kindness of winds to move them towards their destination--but, in one of the most dramatic changes in military machinery, the ironclad, steam-powered ship took over. This new armored warship ensured British invincibility at sea, and secured for them the most extensive empire ever known. But, the English were not the lone beneficiaries of these new battleships: they also proved crucial during other wars, as well, including the American Civil War. With the help of over 150 illustrations and color maps, including computer-generated cartography, an eminent former Rear-Admiral in the Royal Navy describes the changes in technology that led to these supreme instruments of sea warfare, the evolution in weapons and tactics, and the strategies that forever transformed conflict on the high seas.
