    About this ebook

    The Second World War battleship HMS Rodney achieved lasting fame for her role in destroying the pride of Hitler’s navy, the mighty Bismarck, in a thrilling duel. This splendid book traces not only this mighty battleship’s career in detail but describes the careers of all the ships carrying the name.
