He focuses on the principal pre-war developments such as the first purpose-built aircraft carriers and the growing perception of the threat of air attack to warships. All the wartime construction programmes are covered, such as the massive expansion in escort ships to counter the U-boat menace, and the development of the amphibious warfare fleet for the D-Day landings in 1944. Full analysis is also provided of the experience of wartime damage, as well as the once top secret pre-and post-war damage trials." ABOUT THE AUTHOR: "Eur Ing David K Brown RCNC graduated from the RN College in 1953, and became a Chartered Engineer in 1968.
