For more than a century, these versatiIe ships have pIayed a vitaI roIe in the worId's navies. Sub hunters, fIeet defenders, and support ships roIled into one, destroyers have proved their worth in countless roles and fought in every major navaI confIictof this century. From World War l, when they were caIled "four pipers" because of the characteristic number of their smokestacks, to today, when their high tech equipment can detect submarines miIes away, DESTROYERS is a vibrant look at the history of these military mainstays. Take to sea aboard a modern destroyer, and visit earlier ships Iike those that served in World War II. NavaI historians detaiI the developments that have kept them at the heart of the world's navies, and extensive footage shows them in action in confIicts from World War lI to the Gulf War. |
