Hi Rottweiler, I have not read this book (http://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=49324.0;attach=144326;image) The class always seemed to be in the thick of it despite being considered the poor relations by Churchill who called them 'Cofffin ships!' Only one was sunk as with the QE class, and I do not think any were almost lost like Valiant and Queen Elizabeth at Alexandria. They just had less done and spent on them interwar. I will look the book up and see if the Library has a copy.
