Description

River-class frigates have been sadly overlooked by historians, despite playing a crucial role in anti-submarine warfare and in the transatlantic convoys of the Second World War. Lavery, a National Maritime Museum Curator Emeritus, seeks to reinstate the reputation of these important ships.
