Books like Battlecruiser by Douglas Reeman


HMS Reliant, one of only two surviving battlecruisers of her class, carries the legacy of a ship famed for speed and firepower yet vulnerable to a single shell—a flaw exposed at the Battle of Jutland and later proven in the wrecks of the Hood and Repulse. In 1943, Captain Guy Sherbrooke takes command, knowing his ship may be his last. As Britain moves toward an invasion of occupied Europe, Reliant is headlong into a conflagration where only death or glory awaits those aboard.
