Outline
Warship is the story of that leap in the dark that made steel float, engines fly and ships sail under the waves. In four separate programmes, this landmark series tells the story of the Warship from the perspective of today’s navies, the most sophisticated and most lethal weapons delivery systems and the technological advances that made it all possible. Warship puts invention before warfare and people above everything in its portrayal of the most dramatic metamorphous of the modern age
