I got Burt's book for my birthday!
Pros? Brilliant book with lots of useful drawings.
Cons? I have
no idea how any of these vessels looked at Jutland from above. Hercules had a rangefinder fitted aft of her navigation bridge with what I think was a circular platform, but I can't be sure without a plan view of her superstructure. Most of the other detail can be worked out via photos and profile drawings.
Does anyone know/have schematics and/or pictures of
Hercules' bridge from the 1916/1917 era that would shed more light on the shape of this structure?
Edit: It appears to be a circular platform on top of a square structure?
