Early in World War II, fifty obsolete US Navy destroyers were
transferred to the Royal Navy in return for a 99-year lease British
bases in the Caribbean, Bahamas and Newfoundland. Though they were
obsolete and far from ideal, they played a vital role in the Royal
Navy's campaign. This is their complete story. Topics covered
include the background to the acquisition of the ships - the Battle
of the Atlantic; their specification and design, and modifications
in RN service; operations and achievements, such as the St Nazaire
Raid and finally, losses and accidents. This authoritative text is
supported by many contemporary photographs and twenty eight
detailed plans prepared specially for this book.
