The first book to take a detailed look at the development of this highly influential class of destroyers. Contains more than 45 beautiful profiles and deck plans.
The revolutionary battleship Dreadnought of 1906 brought together in one package the new technology of oil fired boilers and steam turbines, and all-big-gun armament; in doing so she rendered all other capital ships then afloat completely obsolete. Ten years later the V&W Class did to destroyers what the dreadnoughts had done to battleships: they set a completely new and higher standard of technology and were a cut above anything that had come before. They were, however, less revolutionary than evolutionary and in this new book John Henshaw takes the reader through all the developmental stages with a detailed history of the step-by-step lessons that were learned, not all of which were fortuitous. The narrative is superbly illustrated with forty-five detailed profile and deck plans.
