The monumental and definitive account of Royal Navy Destroyers from 1892 to 1953, based on official records and plans. In this the most detailed history of British destroyers in print, the author examines in great depth their development from 1892 to 1953 and provides the reader with a vast amount of hitherto undisclosed official information. Admiralty co-operation enabled Edgar March to carry out research and to examine every aspect of official policy, technical problems of specialized shipbuilding, and captain's reports from sea during both wartime and peacetime conditions. The author also received invaluable assistance from the great destroyer builders - Thornycroft, Yarrow, Samuel White, John Brown and others. The highly detailed narrative is enhanced by the inclusion of 175 photographs reproduced to a high standard, and 100 large building plans drawn to scale with detail not found elsewhere.
