C Class Destroyers

LAST REMAINING COPIES.

The C-class destroyers were among the Royal Navy's most important warships after 1945. Built in significant numbers, they participated in many of the post-war Royal Navy operations from Indonesian Confrontation to Beira; Cod Wars to Suez; Palestine to the Cold War. The list of their activities is an illustration of the Royal Navy's achievements in the period. One of the type, HMS Cavalier, survives today at The Historic Dockyard, Chatham, as a memorial to the 143 British destroyers and over 11,000 men lost at sea during the Second World War. This volume details the individual histories of each of the 24 destroyers.
