Can you recommend a good history of a ship that served throughout the war?
Short answerIan Ballantyne's book on HMS Rodney is worth reading.
NotesIan Ballantyne's book on the battleship Rodney is recommended for following one vessel across the war rather than concentrating on a single battle. Ballantyne is identified more generally as an author of useful ship histories. The recommendation gives readers a clear next book for tracing a major warship through an extended service story. No other title is assessed in this exchange.
