{"product_id":"v-w-destroyers","title":"V \u0026 W Destroyers","description":"The revolutionary battleship Dreadnought of 1906 brought together in one package the new technology of oil fired boilers and steam turbines, and all-big-gun armament; in doing so she rendered all other capital ships then afloat completely obsolete. Ten years later the V\u0026amp;W Class did to destroyers what the dreadnoughts had done to battleships: they set a completely new and higher standard of technology and were a cut above anything that had come before. They were, however, less revolutionary than evolutionary and in this new book John Henshaw takes the reader through all the developmental stages with a detailed history of the step-by-step lessons that were learned, not all of which were fortuitous. The narrative is superbly illustrated with forty-five detailed profile and deck plans.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57316847288702,"sku":"NW9781526774828","price":22.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781526774828.jpg?v=1778719931","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/v-w-destroyers","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
