The Norman Friedman Illustrated Design History series of U.S.
warships books has been an industry standard for three decades and
has sold thousands of copies worldwide. To mark and celebrate this
achievement, the Naval Institute Press is proud to make these books
available once more. Digitally remastered for enhanced photo
resolution and quality, corrected, and updated, this series will
continue to serve--for scholars and enthusiasts alike--as the
foundation for U.S. naval warship research and reference for years
to come. U.S. Destroyers is one the most comprehensive references
available on the entire development of U.S. Destroyers, from their
early torpedo boat forebears to the mass-produced Fletcher-class of
World War II, through the Spruance and Perry classes of the Cold
War, and to the workhorse Arleigh Burke-class of the contemporary
Navy. Like the other books in Friedman's design-history series,
U.S. Destroyers is based largely on formerly classified internal
U.S. Navy records. Friedman, a leading authority on U.S. warships,
explains the political and technical rationales of warship
construction and recounts the evolution of each design. Alan Raven
and A.D. Baker III have created detailed scale outboard and plan
views of each ship class and of major modifications to many
classes. Numerous photographs complement the text.
