TRIBALS, BATTLES AND DARINGS.
                                       THE GENESIS OF THE MODERN DESTROYER

by Alexander Clarke






The ships that dominate so much of the history of the Royal Navy in the Second World War are more often than not the carriers or battleships and rarely do ships smaller than cruisers move centre stage. Apart that is from one class, the Tribal class destroyers, heroes of the Altmark incident, of the battle of Narvik, and countless actions. Yet there has been surprisingly little written about these critical ships, still less about their wartime successors, the Battle class, or their postwar incarnations, the Daring class. This book seeks to rectify this by describing the three classes, each designed under different circumstances along destroyer lines but to general-purpose light cruiser form, from the interwar period through to the 1950s, and the author explains the procurement process for each class in the context of the needs and technology of the times.
