About This Novel
Today's Royal Navy is the largest in Europe and one of the most advanced navies in the world, and is the forerunner of most modern naval forces. In the long history of the development of the Royal Navy, destroyers were once an important tool for the British Empire to maintain its status as a strong military and economic power. They played an important role in all major maritime wars. In the 21st century, they have become an important pillar for the UK to demonstrate its strong military power on the global ocean. Early destroyers had weak capabilities and a single mission. However, in the following more than a hundred years, destroyers have become surface combat platforms with multi-mission capabilities such as surface attack, escort, air defense and anti-submarine, and ground fire support. This book starts from the origin of British destroyers in the 19th century to the huge scale of shipbuilding during the First World War. It details the development of each ship type based on the process of the destroyers gradually taking shape and continuously applying new technologies. The book is supplemented by detailed and accurate equipment data, combined with exquisite ship line drawings and precious historical photos, to show readers the tortuous and spectacular development of British destroyers.
