Four pipes and flush decks--these ships were a distinctively American destroyer design. Fifty were given to Great Britain in its hour of need in 1940, and many would serve in other navies, fighting under the Soviet, Canadian, Norwegian, and even the Imperial Japanese flags. Devised immediately prior to and during the United States' involvement in World War I they dominated the US Navy's destroyer forces all the way through to World War II.They were deployed on North Atlantic and Norwegian Sea convoys, and virtually everywhere in the Pacific, from Alaska to Australia.
One was even used as a self-propelled mine during Operation Chariot, destroying the dry dock at St. They also served in a variety of roles becoming seaplane tenders, high-speed transports, minesweepers, and minelayers. Nazaire.Fully illustrated throughout with commissioned artwork and contemporary
