In this authoritative design history of British warships, from the Washington naval treaty to the end of the Second World War, David K Brown brings the knowledge and experience of a long career as a Naval Constructor. Restricted by the inter-war naval treaties, the Royal Navy employed much ingenuity and innovation to overcome the lack of resources, and this is one of the main themes of the book. All the wartime construction programmes are also covered, including the massive increase in convoy escorts required to fight the crucial convoy battles, and the development of an amphibious fleet of entirely original ship types. Full analysis is also provided of the lessons gleaned from wartime losses, as well as the once secret post-war damage trials.
