Obdurate to Daring - British fleet destroyers 1941-1945
Year: 2008 Language: English Author: English J.I. Genre: History Publisher: World Ship Society Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 224 Description: The O’s and P’s had been designed pre-war and were ordered immediately on the outbreak of war, as part of the War Emergency programme and provided the first reinforcements, other than the HUNT class destroyers, for the decimated destroyer flotillas during 1941-42. The O’s were the basis ofa series of 96 vessels that were to be completed between 1942 and 1946. These vessels were adequate, but their anti-aircraft armament was subject to much discussion and change and they were criticised for their short endurance when compared with US vessels. The Z’s and C group were nearly obsolete, when completed. Their relatively late entry into service, and the complete air supremacy of the Allies, meant that their losses were limited.
