DESTROYER COSSACK Detailed in the Original Builders’ Plans

This “Builders’ Plans”volume examines the iconic ‘Tribal’-class destroyers, conceived to rival cruisers in versatility. For the first time, their complex evolution is traced through plans, proposals, and detailed drawings—from magazine layouts to upper-deck variations—alongside wartime modifications. Cossack stands as the class exemplar, celebrated not only for daring feats like the 1940 Altmark boarding but also for the wealth of technical documentation reproduced here.
