British Destroyers and Frigates: The Second World War and After By Norman Friedman
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 95.68MB
Overview: Since the Second World War the old categories of destroyer and frigate have tended to merge, a process that this book traces back to the radically different Tribal class destroyers of 1936. It deals with the development of all the modern destroyer classes that fought the war, looks at the emergency programmes that produced vast numbers of trade protection vessels sloops, corvettes and frigates then analyses the pressures that shaped the post-war fleet, and continued to dominate design down to recent years. Written by America s leading authority, it is an objective but sympathetic view of the difficult economic and political environment in which British designers had to work, and benefits from the author s ability to compare and contrast the US Navy s experience.
