Averof is the only armored cruiser in existence. After the naval battle of Lemnos, her crew called her "lucky uncle George" while the Turks called her "devil ship". She is over 110 years old and is still treated as a commissioned ship in the Greek Navy. Within the first two years of her commissioning, she experienced an attempted mutiny and was the fleet flag ship during the two naval battles of the First Balkan War. This book traces Averof's entire career from its acquisition to the present day. It includes about 160 maps, photographs and drawings, all in their original color, and is printed on coated paper.
