    Visually stunning, but still not a proper "Anatomy"
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 7, 2021*

The "Anatomy of the Ship" series is dead. Long live the "Anatomy of the Ship" series! Once the domain of naval geeks like myself who really WOULD spend hours studying shell expansion plans and steam pipe arrangements, it has lately moved onto a more modern-day-audience-friendly format, with lots of slick 3D color renderings and less emphasis on "nerdy stuff." Unfortunately, I'm still not convinced it's a move in the right direction.Although I gave the revised "Bismarck" "AOTS" five stars, that final star was largely due to it being such a huge improvement over the 2005 edition. "Scharnhorst" doesn't have that extra wiggle room; although it's better than the "Iowa" anatomy, in a way, it's still a beautiful "Super Drawings in 3D" grafted onto a fairly decent, if somewhat clinically presented, "Anatomy of the Ship." Presentation-wise, it's extremely similar to Draminski's two other Anatomies. After a text introduction to the ship's design, armor, machinery, armament, fire control, etc., we get a fairly detailed breakdown of her history, from keel laying to the discovery of the wreck. Next up is 29 pages of "primary views," showing color views of "Scharnhorst" as she appeared at multiple points in her life. The next 257 pages represent the bread-and-butter of this series, combining black and white line drawings and 3D renderings of "General Arrangements," "Hull Structure" (a bit of a misnomer, as we'll discover), "Superstructure," "Armament," and so on.Although there's some inevitable overlap with the "Bismarck" anatomy, this one holds up fairly well in comparison. Rather than present the ship as if it were frozen in time, Draminski depicts it as a constantly changing entity. We see her as originally commissioned with a straight bow, after her first refit, during the invasion of Norway and the commerce raiding operations of March 1941, as modified for the Channel dash, and as sunk. The 3D models look pretty good for the most part but aren't quite as sharp and detailed as those in the "Bismarck" volume. Again, the drawings and renderings of general arrangements, armament, fire control devices, deck fittings, and aircraft are extremely good, the multiple sectional views of the 11" and 5.9" turrets being a highlight.It's here where things get a little sketchy. There's very little on the hull structure and machinery outside of what's described in the introduction, a fact which essentially ruined the Iowa AOTS. I know the Germans probably destroyed a large number of blueprints before the war ended, but surely the Polish government kept SOME information on the "Gneisenau" after scrapping her in the 50s? If you're expecting anything like the works of John Lambert, Ross Watton, or John Roberts regarding machinery and structure, you're going to be disappointed.Part of me wants to be sarcastic and say that if I wanted a glossy book of color photographs of superior German engineering, I'd pull my copy of Claudia Schiffer's self-titled photo book off the shelf instead. Griping aside, this book still does a fine job being a visual companion to this famous warship, although you'll still need a copy of the Koop/Schmolke book to put a lot of the material here in context. Unfortunately, I can't see this series ever returning to its roots.
