Fine in a NF DJ. Blue cloth boards with gilt titles-corners sharp. Just a hint of shelf/edge wear to DJ. From 1915-1917, about 200 British ships were converted to Q-ships. The Q-ships were designed to be appealing U-boat targets.U-boats mostly attacked on the surface, after challenging their targets to stop. Q-ship camouflage screens concealed weapons that included depth charges, torpedoes, and 4-inch guns. When stopped by a U-boat, the crew would conduct a deceptive "panic tactic"-pretending to abandon ship, while hidden gun crews dropped the screens hiding the Q-ship's armaments. The approaching U-boat would hopefully be blown out of the water. ISBN-155750895X. LOC SSS-07, Books<
