Cats and Cathederals: A History of the Type 41 and Type 61 Frigate
Year: 2006 Language: english Author: Patrick Boniface Genre: History Publisher: Periscope Publishing Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 212 Description: These eight Royal Navy and three Indian frigates are very significant postwar warships. They were the first postwar designs to be designed and built, initially, for the Royal Navy, although the Indian's joined the programme at a later stage. The Type 61 (Salisbury) and the Type 41 frigates (Leopard's) bridged the gap between war built surface warships and modem vessels built principally to cope with the demands of anti submarine warfare against Soviet fast submarines. The work on the design, however, started towards the end of 1944, when information about the latest German U-boat designs came to light. The technology and capabilities of these boats surprised and worried the Royal Navy; each would have been able to outpace and out fight the latest in service frigate types. The Royal Navy was justifiably concerned about this and the spy network had information that details of the German submarines had already fallen into Russian hands.
