The Illustrated Directory of Warships
David Miller
During the Victorian era by far the most important naval vessel was the
battleship which was the standard measure of strategic power. Its position
being given even greater strength with the advent of the dreadnought in 1906.
During World War I the dreadnought-type battleship was supreme.
Battleships then had a long twilight ending in the middle of World War 2 when
the aircraft carrier became the most important vessel in the fleet. The carrier
continued its dominance throughout the Cold War and retains it today,
although such ships - and their associated air wings - are beyond the means
of all but a few rich nations. Thus, most modern navies centre around smaller
ships, such as destroyers and since the 1950s. frigates.
