Every cruiser is covered with concise details of its history and eventual fate. Profusely illustrated with photographs.
The Tribal class destroyers possibly saw more action over a longer period of time, and over a greater distance of the globe, than any other destroyer. They took part in almost every Home Fleet and Mediterranean action, the D-Day operations, the East Indies, the South-West amphibious landings, the battle for Leyte gulf, the surrender of Japan and the Korean War. This book offers a biography of each of the 27 vessels that made up the Tribal class. Technical details are provided, together with lists of commanding officers and pennant numbers. With more than 100 photographs, and in addition, every ship’s crest is also illustrated.
