This completely updated and revised edition of Ken Macpherson's first-class history entitled River Class Destroyers, published twenty years ago, is now presented to a new generation of readers. Over the intervening years, more historical information has come to light on the war years, enabling the authors to correct some previous inaccuracies and expand the operational histories of each ship. Many new photos, plus drawings of the ships and their modifications, their armaments and radar, along with camouflage patterns and color notes will make this book a complete reference, suitable for historians and modelers. The Rivers were not old ships by ordinary standards, but wartime demands aged them rapidly, and they did not survive to serve in the postwar Navy. A new generation of ships has borne their names and battle honors, recalling with pride the large contributions made by these fourteen hard-worked ships to the cause of victory in the Second World War.

The destroyers Saguenay and Skeena were the first ships built to order by the Canadian Navy and, with four other units, made up the tiny offensive which went to war in 1939. Eight near-sisters from the Royal Navy were later added and the force, the third largest allied force, made a valuable contribution to the outcome of the Battle of the Mid Atlantic.
