Explores the period between 1815 and 1860 during which,the construction, hull design, armament and propulsion of the battlefleet changed beyond recognition. Of these factors, the introduction of steampower, driving a screw propeller, and the shell-firing gun had the most significant impact, so that the steam line-of-battleship came ot be recognized as a radical new system more than a decade before the advent of the ironclad; profusely illustrated with b & w photos; line drawings, and maps.
