Over the past few years, there has been a massive leap in the power and capabilities of modern naval craft. Today’s missile and helicopter equipped destroyers and frigates can reach further and more effectively than even the mightiest capital ships of former years; while the capabilities of the current generation of carriers and cruisers are truly awesome.

‘The West’s Fighting Ships’ uses the pick of film from the leading navies of the Western powers to show many of their major types in action. These range from the mighty nuclear carriers and Iowa-class battleships of the US fleet to a wide range of destroyers and frigates. Included are shots of gunnery and rocket trials, aircraft and helicopter take-offs and landings and anti-submarine exercises.

The superb footage is accompanied by a detail script by leading naval authority Antony Preston and is essential viewing for every naval enthusiast.
