Description
Between 1922 and 1956, France produced some of the world's largest and fastest destroyers. This comprehensive history covers both the innovative Contre-Torpilleurs super-destroyers and the more conventional Torpilleurs d'Escadre. The authors have drawn on French-language monographs and primary sources to create a detailed and authoritative account. The book is structured around the design of each class, with Part I covering the technical details and Part II focusing on the ships' careers before, during, and after World War II. It features detailed data tables, specially-drawn plans and schemas, and carefully-selected photographs from French naval sources and private collections. This beautifully presented book provides a thorough analysis of France's destroyer classes, making it an essential reference work for anyone interested in naval history.
