British Warship Losses in the Modern Era, 1920-1982
This important new reference work details all those ships and vessels of the Royal Navy, large and small, which were lost by accident or enemy action, during the twentieth century, from the end of the World War, to the last years of the century. Those vessels hired or purchased for wartime service, such as trawlers, paddle steamers and yachts are also listed. In all, the fates of over 2,000 ships and small craft are covered, from aircraft carriers and battleships to motor launches, harbor tenders and tugs.
Arranged chronologically, every entry notes the outline details of the vessel, identifies the Commanding Officer, where known, and gives a full and often harrowing account of the circumstances of the loss and The core of the book is taken up by those losses experienced during World War II, but peacetime losses and more recent conflicts such as the Falklands War of 1982 are included.
