FRIEDMAN Norman - British Destroyers and Frigates. The Second World War and later. Ship Plans by A D Baker III. With additional Drawings by Alan Raven. NEAR FINE COPY IN UNCLIPPED DUSTWRAPPER

Chatham,, [2006]. Roy. 4to., First Edition, with very numerous photographs and illustrations throughout; blue cloth, gilt back, a fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper. The first major study of RN destroyers in forty years, and the first ever of the smaller escorts, this book is a landmark contribution to the history of British warships. Beginning with the radically different 'Tribal' class of 1936, it traces the development of destroyers, sloops, frigates and corvettes through the post-war era, in which these traditional categories began to blur, culminating in Type 45 - the biggest 'destroyers' ever built for the Royal Navy. Highly recommended.
