The book covers the development of naval warfare during this period, including the introduction of ironclads, battleships, cruisers, and other types of warships. It also discusses the role of technology in naval warfare and how it evolved over time. The book begins by describing the early years of naval warfare, when wooden ships were the norm and the primary weapon was the cannon. As technology advanced, new ship designs emerged, such as the ironclad and the torpedo boat. These ships were faster and more maneuverable than their wooden counterparts and quickly became the standard for navies around the world. The book then delves into the development of battleships, which were larger and more powerful than any previous ship design. These ships were equipped with heavy guns and thick armor plating, making them nearly invulnerable to attack. As the 20th century approached, navies began to adopt steam power, which revolutionized naval warfare. Steam-powered ships could travel longer distances without the need for wind, giving them a significant advantage over their sail-powered counterparts. The book also explores the development of submarines, which were initially used primarily for reconnaissance but later became weapons of war.
В книге рассказывается о развитии военно-морской войны в этот период, в том числе о внедрении железных плит, линкоров, крейсеров и других типов военных кораблей. В нем также обсуждается роль технологий в морской войне и то, как они развивались с течением времени. Книга начинается с описания ранних лет морской войны, когда деревянные корабли были нормой, а основным оружием была пушка. По мере развития технологий появились новые конструкции кораблей, такие как железный корпус и торпедный катер. Эти корабли были быстрее и маневреннее своих деревянных аналогов и быстро стали стандартом для ВМС всего мира. Затем книга углубляется в развитие линкоров, которые были больше и мощнее, чем любой предыдущий проект корабля. Эти корабли были оснащены тяжёлыми орудиями и толстым броневым покрытием, что делало их почти неуязвимыми для атаки. С приближением XX века военно-морские силы стали перенимать паровую силу, что произвело революцию в морской войне. Корабли на паровой тяге могли преодолевать большие расстояния без необходимости в ветре, что давало им значительное преимущество перед их аналогами на парусной тяге. Книга также исследует развитие подводных лодок, которые первоначально использовались в основном для разведки, но позже стали оружием войны.
