This book takes a deep dive into the Cold War careers of the US Navy’s last gun destroyers, from the modernized Fletcher-class to the Forrest Sherman-class.

Explore the enduring legacy of these World War II-era destroyers, which remained in service long after the war’s end.

Discover the various modernizations and conversions they underwent, including their transformation into ASW escorts and guided missile destroyers.

Learn about the Sumner-class destroyers, the Gearing-class, and the Forrest Sherman-class, the pinnacle of US Navy gun-destroyer design.

The book also highlights the lesser-known Norfolk-class and the later modernization of these ships for ASW and antiair warfare.

Illustrated with battlescene artwork, detailed illustrations, and photographs, this book tells the fascinating story of these “unsung stalwarts,” the last gun destroyers of the US Navy.

Book arrived with glue? Residue on the cover
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Book arrived damaged. I ordered a new copy so it should have had no damage. The book is required for class so I don’t have the time to return it but you’d be better off buying it used from someone else and save some money.
