The destroyer Campbeltown is most famous for her part in the commando raid on the St Nazaire drydock in 1942. Built as the USS Buchanan and later renamed Campbeltown, she was one of over 270 flush-decked destroyers put into service towards the end of World War I. When Britain appealed to America in 1940 for the transfer of fifty vessels for anti-submarine duty, Buchanan was one of the first “gift horses” to be transferred. As part of the renowned “Anatomy of the Ship” series, this book provides the finest documentation of the Campbeltown, with a complete set of superb line drawings, supported by technical details and a record of the ship’s service history.
