They were some of the finest ships the Royal Navy ever built--the last of the great "floating villages" to see WWII action. Their achievements appear in dramatic photos of both battle action and close-up detail, along with exhaustive charts of technical specifications. The personalities of each of the five ships comes through in sketches of many of the 1,500 officers and men, in more than six years of battle, in most sea theaters.
