Description

All over the Second World War the Royal Canadian Navy expanded from a tiny service of 10 ships in 1939 to change into the third largest Allied navy by 1945. Its primary role was once convoy escort in the North Atlantic to keep open the necessary lifeline carrying supplies to Britain. In small, sick-equipped ships, most notably the famous corvettes, the RCN battled U-boats and dreadful weather in a role that has ceaselessly gone unheralded in many histories. This book was once commissioned by the Canadian Naval Memorial Believe to commemorate the 60th anniversay of the Battle of the Atlantic. Written and complied by Donald E. Graves, it includes not only the writer’s text but many excerpts from the recollections of those who took part… Canadian, German, sailors, civilians. The book is generously illustrated with photographs in addition to drawing, maps and diagrams that give an explanation for the intricacies of anti-submarine warfare in World War II.
