Book Description

From the Dust Jacket. Acknowledged as the single authoritative work on the vast subject of British and Dominion naval effort in World War II, this book sets out the fullest possible details of all vessels in service, commissioned or planned during the dark years of 1939-45. To ensure the inclusion of accurate details of all the ships, the authors researched deeply into British and inteational naval records. The comprehensive information is clearly presented and fully supported by 192 pages of photographs. In this second edition over 100 trawlers and drifters have been added to Part 6, and several new classes of small craft have been added to Part 7. Many other corrections and additions have been made in the light of additional information. Ships’ fates have been brought up to date and full details of war losses have now been included.
