A standard reference on the RN of WWII. Initially issued as a series of eight booklets categorised by warship type throughout the early 1960s, the work was first published as an omnibus volume in 1964. This edition incorporates much new material throughout, including updated fates and war losses; the sections on trawlers, drifters and smaller craft in particular are substantially expanded. Law, 0948
