Product Description
In this handsomely illustrated work, the well-known ship expert Robert Sumrall traces the origins of the U.S. Navy's Sumner-Gearing class destroyers through half a century of changing naval technology. He shows the great advances made in ordnance, fire control, and steam engineering in a destroyer class that served as a standard for post-World War II destroyer design and development. Nearly three hundred illustrations, many in color, enhance the authoritative text.
About the Author
ROBERT F. SUMRALL is the coauthor of Iowa Class Battleships: Their Design, Weapons, and Equipment. He served in eight Sumner-Gearing-class destroyers during forty years of naval service.
