  • ITALIAN ASSAULT CRAFT, 1940–1945

  • ROYAL NAVY TORPEDO VESSELS, 1870–1914
    LES BROWN
    The self-propelled or locomotive torpedo was probably the greatest game-changer in the history of naval warfare. For the first time the largest warship could be sunk by a weapon carried by the smallest, and most navies were quick to see the potential. Although the 19th-century Royal Navy had a reputation for technological conservatism, it was an ‘early adopter’ of the torpedo a...
