Type 21 by CAPTAIN JOHN LIPPIETT

The Type 21 Frigate broke new ground in warship design when it entered service in the early 1970s. Its novel propulsion system of four gas turbines produced a speed and dash which, together with its fine appearance, rapidly engendered a spirit in the class that has remained ever since. Of private design, the Type 21 has provoked criticism and a degree of envy from the establishment. The ships have served in many roles worldwide, and in 1982 seven out of the eight members of the class served with distinction in the Falklands conflict. HMS Ardent and HMS Antelope were sunk by enemy bombs.

In this comprehensive and authoritative book, Capt John Lippiett traces the background and development of the class, and includes details of the weapons, sensors and machinery. Using his considerable knowledge of life at sea, and the Type 21s in particular, the author paints a picture of what it is really like to serve in such a ship. A member of the ship's company would recognise himself in the script; but more importantly, his family and friends now have the chance of understanding something of his life. For a young man interested in joining the Royal Navy this book makes vital reading; for the warship enthusiast it is an essential addition to the bookshelf, and for anyone interested in maritime affairs it provides a fascinating insight into the modern Navy.

The 150 photographs with diagrams, line drawings, tables and annexes provide an excellent record of a notable class of warship.
