Covering the re-evaluation by Western navies during the decade 1945-55 when not only overall policy and strategy were reviewed but the technicalities of ship design and weapons procurement. The warships of 1960 look quite different from those of 1945. In 1945, gun-armed battleships and cruisers were important weapons systems and the primary anti-aircraft weapon was a heavy machine gun. Aircraft carriers had straight decks and propeller aircraft. Depth charges were the major anti-submarine weapons. By 1960, the gun-armed surface combatant was largely obsolete, and missiles were the new anti-aircraft weapon. Carriers were much larger and differently laid out, and antisubmarine warfare required highly specialized vessels, primarily relying on mortars and torpedoes. This book describes, in detail, the transformation from one to the other. The focus is primarily on the UK and the US, with heavy attention to how the different circumstances of the two navies led to separate designs. Ref XX 1. Codice articolo 026290
