Worlds Greatest Warships

Technology, War Documentary hosted by Robert Wolstenholme, published by Channel 5 in 2019 - English narration



Information
------------------------------

This three part documentary series charts the history of the warship from the dawn of the twentieth century to the present day and in doing so tells the story of the most iconic ships of all time, and looks at the engineering breakthroughs that allowed them to become genuine game-changers and play leading roles in the greatest naval battles of the past century. Each episode focus on a specific class of vessel: Dreadnoughts, Word War II Destroyers and Aircraft Carriers.
From HMS Dreadnought to USS Enterprise, from Tirpitz to Ark Royal these are ships that took part in some of the greatest naval battles in history, such as Jutland, Iwo Jima, The Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam, Pearl Harbour, Korea, Desert Storm, and the Battle of the North Atlantic.
In each episode, we focus on one important class of warship; from the great leviathans of the Second World War to WWI's Dreadnoughts, ending with the aircraft carrier. The series features expert interviews, original filming aboard existing ships, stunning archive footage, exclusive access to original ships plans and computer-generated animations of long-lost ships.

Series Produced & Directed by Theo Williams ; An IWC Media Production for Channel 5

3)  The Aircraft Carrier: Ark Royal and the Carrier Giants
Aircraft carrier rose to prominence during WWII, but the story begins with very British experimentation in WWI. This eventually led to the first purpose-built carrier, Ark Royal, which went on to battle the mighty Bismarck when war broke out again. But the story continues in the present day, as the forthcoming Queen Elizabeth-class carriers, when they enter service will be the most technologically advanced carriers on the planet. The final episode of the series focuses on the history of the aircraft carrier, which has played a vital role in nearly every British and American military engagement since the Second World War. In the US Navy, the USS Enterprise was a fleet aircraft carrier and became the decisive weapon in World War II. The giant also played an important strategic role in the Cold War. The aircraft carrier grew from a humble vessel into a major weapon in World War II, a tool of political and military strategy during the Cold War, and a ship that may rule the waves for decades to come. Giant aircraft carriers are still today the most complex and expensive results of design and engineering.
