Going back to one of the sources of my reading passions - naval history and archaeology. The author in this case seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of the history of naval warfare and the archaeology which exists to substantiate this narrative, including rams from Roman galleys, the wrecks of galleys and ww2 battleships. An interesting if helicopter view of the underlying subject matter.
