Brownlee, W: 1985 Cambridge, softcover 48 pages, history and ship in detail, with photos en illustrations. Walter D. Brownlee outlines how HMS Warrior, launched in 1860, revolutionized naval warfare by combining iron hull construction, powerful rifled guns and unprecedented speed in a single warship, making all existing wooden fleets instantly obsolete. The book concisely explains the ship’s design, armament and service history, and shows why Warrior is regarded as the first truly modern battleship in both British and global naval history.
