As the Cold War dawned, the new technology of guided anti-aircraft missiles offered warships the chance to defeat air attacks from afar, thus preserving their role in naval warfare. The result was the guided missile destroyer - a specialist air-defence ship, built to protect the fleet from enemy warplanes and missiles. Illustrated with striking photos and detailed new artwork, this book examines the technology, operational service and combat performance of Britain's guided missile destroyers, from the first-generation missiles to the state-of-the-art Type 45 ships.  

Paperback, 48 pages, many historical photos, profiles and color illustrations
