THE FIRST DESTROYERS The Torpedo Boat Destroyers (TBDs) of the 1890's

Lot #30 (Sale Order 25 of 100)

Very good condition large hardcover. "The Torpedo Boat Destroyers (TBDs) of the 1890s--the first destroyers--were among the most glamorous naval vessels ever built. With their remarkable speed, their connotations of David and Gliath, and their initial deployment against the Royal Navy’s traditional enemy, the French, they caught the public imagination, while the command of one was coveted by all young naval officers. Drawing on Admiralty documents and plans, the author has compiled a brilliant collection of data on the early development of these vessels up to the River class of 1900. He also looks at the German response and the development in the US, particularly the Bainbridge class with its distinct raised forecastle."

BRITISH DESTROYERS & FRIGATES: The Second World War and After

Lot #31 (Sale Order 26 of 100)

Very good condition, hardcover. "Since World War II the old categories of destroyer and frigate have tended to merge, a process that author Norman Friedman traces back to the radically different Tribal-class destroyers of 1936. This volume covers the development of all the modern destroyer classes that fought in the war. It looks at the emergency programs that produced vast numbers of trade protection vessels--sloops, corvettes, and frigates--and analyzes the pressures that shaped the post-war fleet and, until recently, dominated design."

Frigates of the ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY: 1943-1974

Lot #32 (Sale Order 27 of 100)

Very good condition, hardcover. "It is extraordinary that one seldom hears of the finest anti-submarine vessels built in Canada during the entire Second World War: frigates. Frigates, initially dubbed "twin-screw corvettes" were designed by William Reed of Smith's Dock company. They were to prove their worth as ocean escorts and were important contributors to victory over the U-boats. Perhaps because of their late arrival on the scene, wartime photographs of frigates are now scarce. The purpose of this book is to reproduce more than one illustration of each ship, especially those that were rebuilt to "Prestonian class" configuration after the war."

For 150 years P & O has been one of the world's greatest shipping lines. Beginning with the mail contract to Gibraltar, P & O quickly became the natural way for generations of English men and women to travel to India and the Far East. In wartime, P & O's service and sacrifice was vital to Britain's survival. In two world wars and in the Falkland's conflict P & O ships and their crews endured with unexampled courage contributing to eventual victory. Today, P & O is a modern internationally based company with wide ranging interests; it faces the future with pride in its past and confidence in its ability to rise to new challenges. P & O's quartered blazon is now as familiar inland as it ever was on the sea lanes. The naval historians, David and Stephen Howarth, tell vividly an exciting story of the birth and development of one of Britain's greatest companies. Illustrated. 224 pages.
