Description

HMS Cavalier Destroyer 1944 is one of 96 War Emergency Programme destroyers built between 1940 and 1942. This 'C'-Class destroyer saw action on convoy duty off Russia, before providing naval gunfire support during the battle of Surabaya in 1945. A significant gap in reference materials for museum ships has been addressed with this book, which features over 200 specially commissioned photographs. It offers a superbly illustrated tour of the ship, from bow to stern and deck by deck, including detailed coverage of key areas such as gun turrets and engine rooms. This book provides the most complete visual record and explanation of HMS Cavalier available, explaining her importance both in her own time and now as a museum vessel.
