Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The Royal Navy had considered converting merchant ship hulls into escort carriers before the Second World War, but it was not until 1940 that the Admiralty actually began conversion of a captured German freighter into HMS Audacity. All told, the Royal Navy built 44 escort carriers during the war and they played a critical role in winning the Battle of the Atlantic. In Royal Navy Escort Carriers, Commander David Hobbs, RN provides a 2-5 page history of each escort carrier, along with plentiful photographs. The volume also has 11 appendices, ranging from technical details of each class to embarked air units and a photo tour inside an escort carrier. This book is designed for the specialist reader and it is very useful as such, but it is not a general or campaign history.
