'The Eclipse of the Big Gun' covers the history of the warship from 1906 to 1945. The chronology spans both of the 20th century's world wars. This was an era of rapid transition, as well as considerable operational experience, thanks to a series of major technological developments. The era begins with fleets dominated by large vessels bearing heavy guns, and relying on visual sighting of their opponents. By its end, battles were fought without ships of either side being in sight of one another, while under the waves lurked the menace of the submarine and its deadly torpedo.
