"In the history of civilizations, sea power has always played a preponderant role. This symbol of a nation's scientific and military genius has very often been the deciding factor during major conflicts, putting the names of several clashes down into legend. With this collection, Jean-Yves Delitte and Giuseppe Baiguera plunge you into the heart of three of the twentieth century's greatest naval battles."--

An official Painter of the Fleet and a full member of France's independent Académie des Arts & Sciences de la Mer (Academy of Arts & Sciences of the Sea), Jean-Yves Delitte is an architect and designer by training. His first comic book stories appeared in the legendary weekly magazine Tintin. His great love for the open seas allows him to display the entirety of his talent through the creation of veritable naval frescoes.

In 2011, he published Ecoguard, a volume distributed in schools to build ecological awareness.
