A series of seven programmes presented by Admiral of the Fleet the Lord Hill-Norton, GCB 5: Cruiser
'Our great reliance is on the vigilance and activity of our cruisers at sea.'
(LORD ST VINCENT: 1803)
A 'complete navy in one hull', one of the oldest types of warship-Nelson had them, Jellicoes cruisers scouted for the Grand Fleet at Jutland, they fought the Graf Spee , shadowed the Bismarck, and roamed the oceans of the world - the cruiser story.
