Destroyers and Frigates (English)

Since the World War II, anti-aircraft and anti-submarine warfare roles have become paramount in the design and operational use of destroyers and frigates, which have evolved from multi-role escorts into high-capability single/dual role types.

Complementing modern ships designed for the task are numbers of older vessels adapted to more modern standard and many such ships have recently been given an anti-ship ability by the retrofit of anti-ship missiles. This book is a full technical description of current anti-aircraft and anti-submarine destroyer and frigate classes, the specifications and texts being designed for easy assimilation of complex factors.
