Editorial Reviews
Product Description
No other warship is so intimately connected with Canada's naval heritage as the ubiquitous corvette of the Second World War. Despite the importance of the corvette to Canadian history, no reliable history of the class has ever been published. In an attempt to fill the gap, this book is a concise, popular account of the corvette in Canadian service during the Second World War: its design, equipment, employment, modifications, victories, losses and final disposal. Plans by John McKay feature the original corvette design.
