Ten years later the V\u0026amp;W Class did to destroyers what the dreadnoughts had done to battleships: they set a completely new and higher standard of technology and were a cut above anything that had come before. They were, however, less revolutionary than evolutionary and in this new book John Henshaw takes the reader through all the developmental stages with a detailed history of the step-by-step lessons that were learned, not all of which were fortuitous. The narrative is superbly illustrated with forty-five detailed profile and deck plans.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67998371741984,"sku":"NEW1526774828","price":34.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81-P2yqvCiL.jpg?v=1793044857","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/v-w-destroyers-a-developmental-history-1526774828","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
