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.
This survey of the armament of wooden sailing men-of-war and other vessels deals with the surviving examples of cast brass, wrought iron ordnance, including the guns and carronades of the Victory at Trafalgar.
Biography of the first Royal Navy ship of her type, following her adventures to the point in the Battle of Jutland when she perished in spectacular style under a hail of German shells.
