'The Admiralty Regrets ...' is the phrase used in countless official communiques to announce the loss of one of HM ships.
In chronicling the losses the author also traces the development of naval warfare and weaponry this century: the book opens with the loss of a ship as a result of a grounding, and closes with the tale of a ship sunk by a guided missile.
