Year: 1985 Language: English Author: Leo Marriott Genre: History Publisher: Allan Edition: Modern combat ship Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 120 Description: The Falklands War brought the Royal Navy's warships to everyone's attention. In particular the sinkings of the Type 42 destroyers Sheffield and Coventry and the Type 21 frigates Ardent and Antelope provoked heated discussion on the capabilities of the ships which have to defend British interests worldwide, and some perceptive and much ill-informed criticism was made of the design and performance of the vessels and their weapons systems. Recent trends in the equipping and refitting of the various classes have suggested that the Royal Navy has been quick to learn and apply the lessons from the conflict. How have today's warships fared both in peacetime and during war? The 'Modern Combat Ships' series looks at all aspects of individual classes of warship. Type 42 covers a class of destroyer that has seen extensive worldwide service, with the RN and the Argentine Navy. Leo Marriott has made a comprehensive study of the Type 42s, and has detailed the design, construction, weapons, machinery, sensors and histories of the ships, including a consideration of the influence of the Argentine units on the Falklands war. His authoritative text is complemented by plans and drawings, and by over 120 photographs illustrating the vessels, their systems and their involvement in the South Atlantic.
