Full entry text:

ROSKILL, S. W. HMS Warspite: The Story of a Famous Battleship. 319p., bibliog., illus., index. London: Collins, 1957.

Roskill served on Warspite and this full history covers her entire career which envelops almost the entire gamut of Royal Navy experience for half a century. She saw action from Jutland to Walcheren via Narvik and Matapan and witnessed the surrender of the German High Seas Fleet in 1918 and the Italian Fleet in 1943. The author packs a great deal into a relatively small space.
