ACOUP - Starships in Silhouette

As a follow up to his look at main batteries, Bret turns to another aspect of ship design: the way in which armament and propulsion dictate the shape of ships. In particular, he examines the way the needs of these two factors have shaped ship design and history, and examples of how that design philosophy both does and does not appear in some sci-fi examples.
