Seapower follows the
history of naval warfare from ancient times to modern times covering all
facets of this fascinating subject.
On this disc, which is
volume two of a two part series we see how technology has progressed to the
point that ships are now ironclad and doing battle in the United States during
the Civil War. At the time, there were only four ironclads the whole world
over, yet even so they managed to get two of them to do battle against each
other that changed the way the designers would look at shipcraft forever.
The history lesson then
moves onto World War II and the destruction of the Japanese Fleet and the
recovery of the ships later on years later. Germany's famous U 534 is also
featured on this disc and incredibly the camera crew for Cromwell Productions
were allowed special access to the U Boat that makes for some absolutely
spectacular footage.
I would recommend this
and Volume 1 to anyone with an interest in the history of naval warfare and
also as a valuable addition to any schools history section.

extras, there are a number of features utilised throughout the disc as listed
