My question with this book was whether it was going to be merely a rehash of Friedman's "The Post-War Naval Revolution," the answer being very much no. In fact, the best chapters are probably those dealing with British World War II construction from the "Tribal" class ships on, reaching a level of analysis comparable to Friedman's books on USN ship types. There are also numerous good drawings and photos, which are well served by the large format of the book. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"A comprehensive survey of the design history and development of the Royal Navy's greyhounds of the sea."--WARSHIPS Magazine Since World War II, 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 programs that produced vast numbers of trade protection vessels--sloops, corvettes and frigates--then analyzes the pressures that shaped the post-war fleet, and continued to dominate design down to recent years. Written by America's leading authority and featuring photos and ship plans, 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. Norman Friedman is renowned for his ability to explain the policy and strategy changes that drive design decisions, and his latest book uses previously unpublished material to draw a new and convincing picture of British naval policy over the previous seventy years and more.
