A documentary series on combat ships through the ages, from the 16th century to the present day.
Reasonably interesting though flawed. Covers some lesser-known seacraft, including cockleshell canoes, hospital ships and intelligence-gathering craft. However, there is no progression to the series - each episode is independent of the others and is in random order - so you get no feeling for the research, development and evolution involved. Plus, while including the lesser-known craft is novel and at times edifying, these topics feel a bit flat. I guess that's why these craft are not often covered...
The interviews also leave a lot to be desired. Many of the "experts" are just cheerleaders, spewing hyperbole. The narrator is generally okay but, despite being English, insists on saying "nuke-u-ler" for "nuclear". Maybe they wanted to appeal to an American audience...
He also bungles some of his lines and gets away with them. For example, saying that a Landing Craft could carry 120,000 tons of cargo...
Overall, okay but not great.
