Год выпуска: 1992 Язык: english Автор: Anthony J. Watts Жанр: History Издательство: Arms and Armour Press Формат: PDF Качество: Scanned pages Количество страниц: 76 Описание: Despite sterling service in both Allied and Axis navies in World War Two, the development of the small, fast and heavily armed warship came to a virtual standstill post-war as radar, longer-range weapons and the dominance of the aircraft carrier seemed to remove the need for the close-in attack vessel. Today the fast attack craft has reasserted itself as an integral part of many world navies, particularly those with small coastlines or limited budgets. With good acceleration and manoeuvrability, these ships still offer the stealthy fast approach to deliver a formidable offensive capability thanks to rapid-fire medium calibre guns and surface-to-surface and surface-to-air missiles. They have the power to attack large targets from long ranges - and survive. Hence they still have a role to play. This book charts the development of these vessels in detailed photographs. In so doing, it demonstrates how such unique craft can provide an efficient and potent protection force without recourse to the powerful high-tonnage warships of the past. No naval professional or civilian student of modern defence can boast knowledge of the world's current maritime strategies without an understanding of the role played by the fast attack craft.
