330 BRITISH LEND-LEASE WARSHIPS 1940-45: The Royal Navy's American-built Destroyers and Frigates

1-995330

Explores the history of the American-built destroyers and frigates supplied to the Royal Navy under Lend-Lease, which played a crucial role in Britain's war in the Atlantic. The first batch were 50 World War I-era 'four-stacker' destroyers, and these aging destroyers were followed by over a hundred more Lend-Lease warships -- many of which were built especially for British service in American shipyards. Contains detailed ship profiles of the major classes, a cutaway of HMS Campbeltown (of Saint-Nazaire raid fame) as it appeared in 1941, and battlescene artwork. Illustrated throughout with 40 photos and 8 pages of color illustrations.
