    "This book, covering a single ship in great detail, has been written by one of the foremost authorities on British battleships. As such, it provides a unique examination of a vessel which is not that well-covered in naval literature. Since this battleship 'never fired a shot in anger', a thorough evaluation of this subject is needed; certainly provided for here.... This volume is a lively account of its subject, clearly printed on good-quality paper in a sturdy binding. The book closes out Burt's series on British battleships, and as such deserves consideration from those interested in Royal Navy battleships in particular, or in postwar battleship development in general." --Warship International, Pretty solid reference book. The author is known of profound knowledge about British battleships. Lots of information on the ship's design, weapons, armor, refits, and service career, along with the Royal Cruise of 1949. Every model builder who is interested in detailed information about the Vanguard ships will enjoy this book.Model Ship World, "Pretty solid reference book.

In this new book by R A Burt her design construction and career are all covered. Armor machinery power plants and weaponry are examined in detail and the author has produced some 35 superb plans profiles and other line drawings for which he is renowned., The ninth HMS Vanguard bearing one of the most illustrious names in the Royal Navy with honors from the Armada to Jutland was the last and largest of Britain's battleships and was commissioned in 1946.
