Colin White shows how the many different experimental designs culminated in one homogeneous fleet, and how that fleet, in turn was superceded by the advent of HMS Dreadnought. The period marked the zenith of the British Empire, and the book shows how the Royal Navy played a key role both in defending and in extending the colonies all over the world.

Above all, the book concentrates on people: on the men who served and who fought with such gallantry in the various campaigns; on the many colourful personalities and on members of the Royal Family who made their careers in the Royal Navy at this time.
