Out of 820 U-Boats, 718 were destroyed in action; out of 39,000 men, only 7,000 survived the war. What gives flesh to these horrifying statistics is this account by Peter ‘Ali’ Cremer. He was one of the thre senior U-boat commanders to survive.
A book about the Royal Navy at work and at play, at home and abroad. Professionalism and humor are the key notes of this book.
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.
