SMITH, Peter C. The Great Ships Pass: British Battleships at War 1939-1945. xiii, 544p., bibliog., illus., index. London: Kimber, 1977. ISBN: 0870218263.

A substantial history of the war at sea describing all actions where battleships were involved. The author advances the thesis that the battleship played an important and significant role throughout that war and that the aircraft carrier merely modified that role rather than replaced it - and in fact, the carrier was to some extent dependent on the battleship.
