Trade paperback. Etat : Good. Paul Bender (Cover painting and color profiles), T (illustrateur). Fourth Printing [stated]. Format is approximately 8.25 inches by 10.75 inches. 48 pages plus covers. Illustrations (some in color, and fold-out). The cover states Warship's Data Special. Some wear and soiling noted. The evolution of destroyer escort design dated back to 1939, when basic characteristics were established for ships that could be built rapidly and in large numbers without interfering with production of machinery and armament for other types. A ~300-foot hull needed only 10-20 per cent of the horsepower of a contemporary destroyer to achieve 21-24 knots, sufficient for the task. Steam or diesel power could be used; 5-inch guns were preferred but 3-inch would do. Close-in anti-aircraft defenses evolved as in destroyers from the ineffective 1.1-inch cannon to the standard 40mm and 20mm weapons. Torpedoes were initially carried in some classes in case of a surface threat, and of course there were depth charges and hedgehogs plus sonar and radar that were essential to their mission. Over a 19-month period beginning in November 1941, the US Navy placed orders for 1,005 destroyer escorts in six classes. At first, the need for new shipyard capacity and construction priorities such as larger surface ships and landing craft slowed production-keels were laid for the first destroyer escorts only in February 1942 and the first of them commissioned only in January 1943. Even as DEs began began to join the fleet, Allied code-breakers, ships and aircraft and the convoy system were stemming the tide in the Battle of the Atlantic. In May 1943, while German and Italian U-boats sank 45 Allied merchant ships they lost an equal number of their own, reducing their average number in daily operation by more than 25 per cent. The US Navy soon realized that many more destroyer escorts had been ordered than would be needed and began canceling orders in September. Eventually, 563 DEs and conversions were delivered, all but six by the end of the war (the last two were delayed until 1955). N° de réf. du vendeur 78151
