British  Battleships 1889-1904 New Revised Edition, R A Burt.
Magnificent study of the  Royal Navy's pre-dreadnought battleships, 
amongst the most powerful ships in  the world when built, but seen as 
obsolete by the outbreak of war in 1914.  Traces the development of the 
'classic' pre-dreadnought design and the slow  increase in the power of 
the secondary armament, leading up to the all-big gun  ships that 
followed.
