British frigates and escort destroyers 1939-45 / Angus Konstam ; illustrated by Adam Tooby.

"Angus Konstam outlines the history of the Hunt-, Loch-, Bay-, and River-class escort destroyers and frigates, revealing how crews fought, and what life was like on board. Using archive photos, detailed colour profiles, a Hunt-class cutaway, and battlescenes of the ships at war, he explores the key role played by these small but deadly escorts."--Provided by the publisher.
