From Baird Maritime:
The impressive and powerful Daring Class destroyers were important components of both the Royal and Royal Australian navies through most of the 1950s and 1960s.
Operating practically worldwide, they were large, long ranging and powerful for destroyers of the time. They were often described as being more like light cruisers.
Twelve of them were built in both Britain and Australia. This very carefully put together book describes the lives of each of them.
They were useful ships that served both navies well for an average of 20 years during the fragile peace of the Cold War. One 'Voyager' was lost in a collision and two lived on for many more years in the Peruvian Navy. 'Vampire' still exists as a museum ship in Sydney.
A valuable read.
