They begin by looking at the relationship and rivalry between Great Britain and Germany and how foreign policy, strategic and tactical considerations, economic, industrial and technological developments, as well as naval policies led to the commencement of the battlecruiser programs in both countries. Chapters are then devoted to the development of the ships in each country, to design and construction, protection, propulsion plants, weapons, fire control, and communication systems. Particular focus is paid to the innovative aspects of the designs and their strengths and weaknesses. These ships eventually clashed in the North Sea at Dogger Bank, in January 1915, and while neither side suffered losses, the differences in their design and handling were apparent. These differences would be starkly highlighted a year later at Jutland when three British ships were destroyed."--Publisher description. 650 0 $a Battle cruisers $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Battle cruisers $z Germany. 650 0 $a Battle cruisers $z Great Britain $x Design and construction. 650 0 $a Battle cruisers $z Germany $x Design and construction. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Naval operations, British. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Naval operations, German. 610 10 $a Great Britain. $b Royal Navy $x History $y 20th century. 610 10 $a Germany. $b Kriegsmarine $x History $y 20th century. 700 1 $a Stanglini, Ruggero, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200603013352.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=58004E4C8B8A11E6A6C758ADDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
