About this book

Great Naval Blunders: History's Worst Sea Battle Decisions from Ancient Times to the Present Day by Regan, Geoffrey. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780233003504.

From the Admiral Popov, the circular Russian battleship that wouldnt steer straight, to the HMS Trinidad, a British cruiser that managed to torpedo itself, this copiously illustrated collection of incompetence on the high seas takes a serious if often entertaining look at the misjudgments of captains, fleet commanders, and ship designers from Roman times to the present day. Full of jaw-dropping anecdotes, Great Naval Blunders proves the old adage, "Worse things happen at sea."
