David K. Brown, Atlantic Escorts: Ships, Weapons, and Tactics in World War II by Charles Ross Patterson II
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
This work is a new paperback edition of Brown's 2007 study of the various escort vessels and their associated technologies fielded by the Allies during the Battle of the Atlantic.Primarily focused on the Royal Navy, with some relevant coverage of Canadian and American contributions, this analysis of frigates, corvettes, and destroyer escorts that thwarted the German submarine threat delves into an often-overshadowed facet of the Second World War's longest running engagement.Part chronology, part technical study, Brown examines the perpetual struggle of "quality verses quantity" as improvements in anti-submarine warfare faced off against the ever-present need for increased numbers of ships and crews to be placed in service (8).While some figures are rounded for simplicity's sake, Brown provides numerous comparative tables on a range of subjects to further supplement the text.Concluding chapters and appendices offer additional focused information on details such as weather conditions, ship construction methods, pressure hull strengths, and ASDIC set variants, with notes, a biography, and an index rounding out the work.The majority of Atlantic Escorts is centered around a chronological retelling of the Battle of the Atlantic.The situation at the start of hostilities in September 1939 is laid out in a preliminary chapter on the interwar period, covering the extant models of warships and early adaptations of small ship ASDIC systems.The introduction of new ship designs and technologies is then woven into the narrative of the war itself, coupled with information from the German Kriegsmarine on relevant aspects of submarine design and their crews.The crucial decision of the Royal Navy to allow those suffering from burn-out to take shore positions and educating the next wave of crews versus the German philosophy of keeping a U-boat crew in action until they were lost is brought up early, highlighting one of the more human aspects of the battle (77).American contributions are largely addressed in terms of vessels supplied to the Royal Navy through early Lend-Lease actions and later purpose-built classes.These ships are presented in both their original configurations and as modified by the Royal Navy.More notable convoys which saw extensive defensive actions by escorts, such as ONS5, are covered in detail, and details like the Hedgehog forward-flung munition and camouflage measures are addressed throughout the text as well.The final three chapters act as an overall conclusion, covering ship production, the technical aspects of fighting in the Atlantic, and Brown's overall evaluation of the effectiveness of anti-submarine vessels during the war.The
