From the inside flap:

The sinking of the Scharnhorst in December 1943, although not realised at the time, was to be the last action of its kind fought by the Royal Navy. This is the story of that action.

Mr. Watts divides his book into two distinct parts, the first giving a brief but comprehensive history of the naval war, which supplies the necessary background for the understanding of the action. Chapters describe in detail and with the aid of diagrams the movements of the forces engaged the two minor cruiser actions which led ultimately to the sinking of the Scharnhorst. This major action resulted in the destruction of Germany's last operational major warship.

The second part of the book consists of 11 tables which list the composition of the various forces, the technical specifications of the warships involved and the detail of the radar and armaments.
