Seapower: 1: Battleship

BBC One
on BBC One London

A series of seven programmes
Presented by Admiral of the Fleet, the Lord Hill-Norton, GCB

'Nowadays we have strategic arms talks, to limit the number of nuclear missiles. When I was a naval cadet at Dartmouth, 50 years ago, there were treaties limiting the number of battleships.'
The story of yesterday's deterrent: how the Dreadnought, built in a Year and a day, made every other battleship obsolete. How more than 50 battleships fought at Jutland, but only one was sunk. How the battleship fought in World War II and how the stricken battle fleet at Pearl Harbor finally revenged itself.
