Once the world’s largest and most powerful naval force, the Royal Navy is now moving towards the second division as regards the number of ships, bu it has managed to maintain its position as number one in training, personnel and professionalism. The challenge for the Royal Navy as it moves towards the 21st century is to maintain that credibility in the face of defence cuts and changing commitments. This is a detailed survey of the Senior Service as it is today and how it has been shaped by events since the end of World War II. Present-day equipment, operations and personnel are all documented, together with the anticipated changes yet to come in all these areas.
Every class of fleet and escort destroyer is described in detail with 120 photographs illustrating them. Anyone with an interest in modern naval history/the Royal Navy will find this book interesting.
This book was originally writen to provide Naval students of electrical technology with a collection of worked examples and carefully graded sets of exersises covering the scope of many electrical examinations in the Navy.
