IN A NUTSHELL: VERY CONCISE & YET COMPREHENSIVE

At the end of World War 2, the 'Director of Naval Construction' had the teams involved with the design and development of England's wartime navy create a detailed chronicle of their wartime activities [1939-1945]. That chronicle has been drafted into this 3 volume text, with editorial footnotes, insights, and some line drawings from David Brown, a retired Deputy Chief Naval Architect. The result is this second of a 3 volume series which altogether equals a kind-of concise anatomy of the British Navy during World War 2.
