Warships of the World: Escort Vessels

By Bernard Ireland

Hardcover

Ian Allen Ltd, 1979

From the DJ blurb:

"This second of three volumes deals with those warships used by the world's navies during the Cold War whose displacement tonnage lies between 1,000-5,000 tons, ranging from light cruisers and destroyers to frigates and corvettes.

'Warship's of the World: escort Vessels' continues Bernard Ireland's guide for the layman in a form that omits the unclarity of jargon, and produces detail fine enough for the most questioning student of naval development. it does so with photographs for almost all the important classes and considered judgements on their fighting ability. It is a must for enthusiast, historian and modeller alike."
