RA, It covers everything.
There is a whole chapter on the Tribals, that is on the design of it and the whole design evolution. The whole book concentrates more on the design process than the finished article but pictures of these preliminary designs are not included, which I think is a shame, but there are some interesting post-war export designs included. Post war designs are much better illustrated with more skecth designs included.
Chapter Three deals with the J, L, M, 0 and P classes and the various stages each went through.
Chapter Four deals with the Black Swans, most sloop classes, the Hunts and even describes some of the trawler designs but not in great detail. Includes the US built Captain class too.
Chapter Five charts the other Emergency Destroyers up to the Battles. The Battles and Weapons and the aborted G class get Chapter Six to themsleves.
Chapter Seven deals with the wartime escorts from the Flowers to the Loch and Castle types.
Chapter Eight begins the postwar stuff, including the Cruiser-Destroyer featured in Warship 2006, Super Daring and the Picket conversions.
Chapter Nine features the design history of the County Class and the aborted Australian version.
Chapter Ten details the Type 41, 61, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 62 and the modernisation programme and a the proposed second, third and fourth rate A/S frigates.
The second Tribal Class is in Chapter 11 along with the Leander Classes and some modernised Daring designs.
Chapter 13 is the whole Type 82 saga.
Chapter 14 features the post Type 82 designs, Type 42, 21, joint RN-RAN design, Ikara Frigate, Leander Modernisations, Type 22 and the unarmed Towed Array Corvette. The unbuilt Type 24, 43 and 44 finish off the chapter and the Type 45 has two pages at the back of the book. There are some 28 pages of ships and technical data in the back.
RA, your method is dubious but less injuring! I like to browse before I buy. If I hadn't of flicked through the book I doubt I would have forked out money over the net with just the blurb on the back to guide me.
