Synopsis "The Falklands Factor: The Battle That Changed the Shape of Ships"

After the failure of Britain's latest air-defence destroyers in the 1982 Falklands War, a public controversy began over an alternative: the S90 'Short Fat' frigate designed and proposed by Peter Thornycroft and David Giles. This is the almost incredible but well-documented story of the author's forty-year hard-fought batt le with naval authorities and governments on both sides of the Atlantic to prove the virtues of his designs, which they had rejected on the basis of theory rather than fact, and then eventually to win substantial compensation aft er they covertly infringed his patents in two new classes of warship. With a Foreword by the late Admiral Lord Hill-Norton, former Chief of the Defence Staff; Technical Appendices; Glossary and Dramatis Personae.
