Destroyers, Frigates and Corvettes contains 300 of the most important and influential vessels of their kind to have ploughed the seas since the age of sail. These range from the earliest torpedo boats to the very latest destroyers with state-of-the-art equipment, including ships such as the valiant Flower-class corvettes, which protected convoys during World War II. Each entry is illustrated by a full-colour artwork, with accompanying text that describes the ship's design, machinery, performance and history.
