| Entry Text: | WATERS, Conrad. Cruiser Birmingham: Detailed in the Original Builders’ Plans. 144p., illus. Barnsley: Seaforth, 2018. ISBN: 9781526724977. Another in the series based on the original drawings preserved in the National Maritime Museum. Unusually, three separate sets of plans survive: as completed in 1937, as refitted in 1943, and as modernised in 1952 which allows this novel form of anatomy to cover the whole of the ship’s long career. |
