As the possibility of war loomed in the 1930s, the British
Admiralty looked to update their fleet of destroyers to compete
with the new ships being built by Germany and Japan, resulting in
the commissioning of the powerful Tribal-class. These were followed
by the designing of the first of several slightly smaller ships,
which carried fewer guns than the Tribals, but were armed with a
greatly enlarged suite of torpedoes. The first of these, the 'J/K/M
class' was followed by a number of wartime variants, with slight
changes to their weaponry to suit different wartime roles. Designed
to combat enemy surface warships, aircraft and U-boats, the British
built these destroyers to face off against anything the enemy could
throw at them. Using a collection of contemporary photographs and
beautiful colour artwork, this is a fascinating new study of the
ships that formed the backbone of the Royal Navy during World War
II.
