Review: More of the same – and that’s a good thing. I’ve been collecting Conway’s ‘Warship’ series off and on for many years, and this one is about average for the lot, meaning it’s great! Includes articles on British frigates of the 1780s, ramming as a weapon in late 19th-century warships, Japanese coast defense ships of the Matsushima class, The old battleship USS Oregon, Russian submarines in the 1914-16 period, the seaplane carrier HMS Engadine at Jutland, the Japanese repair ship Akashi, The Yorktown class aircraft carriers, getting aircraft to Malta during the war, and the midget submarine attack on Tirpitz.
