The U. S. Navy's 'flush deck' destroyers - so named because they featured a straight sheer line from bow to stern - were built for service in the first World War yet saw most of their action in the next. With their characteristic four funnels and open gun mounts, these ships were obsolete when world war broke out again in 1941 yet gave valuable service throughout World War II. Noted naval historian Al Adcock summarizes the life and times of these ships in this Squadron/Signal 'Warships' volume.
