A great history of destroyers in WWI and WWII. The bravery of the crews were a major factor in controlling the seas on both fronts.
Great history of destroyer development in the U.S. Navy through WWII.
The author has done an outstanding job of presenting the development of the destroyer from the original torpedo boat concept before WWI through the superb destroyers that fought each other in the Atlantic and the Pacific during WWII. Each of the major players, Great Britain, Japan, America and Germany is covered in good detail.The battles they fought, both major and minor, and the tactics they used are carefully laid out for the reader as is the impact they had on the outcome of the wars. You clearly see the impact technology like sonar, radar, the depth charge, Hedgehog, aircraft, and the excellent Japanese Type 93 “Long Lance†torpedo had on the battles too.The stories are riveting and carefully researched and all sides are presented impartially. Each nation is covered fairly and objectively as they battle the others through both World Wars.The histories of many individual destroyers are presented along with the Courage & determination of the men that manned them as are their fates.The technical details of each new class of destroyers are described in understandable terms. You will marvel at the resilient Clemson and Wickes class American destroyers that fought through two world wars and discover surprising new facts about the history of destroyers and their use in the bargain.The evolving destroyer missions across the wars from fighting other surface warships with torpedoes and guns to escorting convoys and warship formations, to seeking out and attacking submarines, to shore bombardment, to rescuing men from the water, to providing radar screening and anti-aircraft protection to other warships etc. are well covered.The book is packed with information and great stories. It is a good read all around.My interest is primarily the WWII U-boat War as my dad was an officer in the U.S. Merchant Marine & had a ship he was serving on torpedoed by a German U-boat. I had no particular expertise or even interest in destroyers before I read this book so a good deal of the information was wasn’t already familiar to me. I have been researching the U-boat War for over 20 years now and I am delighted with the information I found in this book.
Tin Cans & Greyhounds: The Destroyers That Won Two World Wars,Clint Johnson, Regnery Publishing, Washington, D.C., 2019, 307 pages, 46 illustrations, endnotes, bibliography.Some volumes of military history attempt to present comprehensive studies of a particular facet of history, filled with an array of detailed accounts found nowhere else. Others present solid summaries of particular subjects, being intended as a primer or introduction.Clint Johnson’s recent work, Tin Cans & Greyhounds, is something of a synthesis of the two styles noted above. Although the book falls more logically into the latter category—introducing readers to a vast subject that could fill any number of volumes—with the limited scope of the subject matter at hand, Johnson allows for a more detailed view of destroyer operations through the end of World War II.It will surprise some readers to learn that destroyer design and technology predated the 20th Century by several decades, and that Great Britain was at the forefront of such development. The United States (as did Germany) lagged behind Great Britain in this respect. America did not begin to catch up until well into the first decades of the last century. British influence on the Japanese Navy was considerable, and the acquisition of several destroyers of British construction probably influenced the Japanese Navy regarding its destroyer strategy and tactics in war plans subsequent to World War I.Johnson points out that, during the Great War, destroyers had less of an impact on the larger sea battles but far more influence on anti-submarine warfare and escorting of convoys. He relates many accounts concerning those critical duties that greatly influenced the outcome of the war.Although Johnson chronicles incidents and actions too numerous to recount in a review, they include the Honda Point disaster of 8 September 1923, in which the U. S. Navy lost seven destroyers on the rocky coast of California. He also documents the build-up of America’s modern destroyer force during the decade of the 1930s and the transfer of fifty obsolete Wickes-class destroyers to Great Britain under the Lend-Lease program, although Johnson points out that the results of the transfer were less than an unqualified success.Fittingly, following the sinking of the Reuben James (DD-245) in October of 1941, coverage of the exploits of the Ward (DD-139) and her crew off the entrance channel to Pearl Harbor begins Johnson’s coverage of World War II, by year and by theater. At different stages in the text, Johnson details the characteristics of German and Japanese destroyers and their influence on operations in the Atlantic and Pacific theaters. He covers destroyer operations of the American Asiatic Fleet early in the war, the advent of the U. S. Navy’s Fletcher-class, and operations that led to Allied victories in both theaters.The bibliography is a valuable resource by itself, and provides a solid reading list for those wishing to delve deeper into the details of naval architecture and operations. Perhaps Johnson was the victim of his own modesty when he failed to note his primary sources, as his end notes made it clear that he did indeed consult numerous after action reports and deck logs.The selection of the forty-six photographs, though weighted heavily toward the United States Navy, is excellent. One unfortunate aspect of the book design is that the illustrations should have been expanded to fit the width of the pages, an accommodation that would have enhanced the visual appeal of the book.Johnson included an appendix wherein he noted the location of the six destroyer ship museums in the United States.Tin Cans & Greyhounds contains a wealth of detail and is a wonderful resource and stepping off point for those wishing to study the history of destroyer warfare in greater detail. As such, this work is of great value indeed. Doubtless, the fascinating accounts, observations, and insights in this book will spur further interest in naval history. This work is an excellent reference that is well suited for inclusion on any bookshelf devoted to naval history.J. Michael WengerRaleigh, N.C.13 February 2019
For many years I've had tunnel vision focusing more on my ship and project, Project USS STRONG DD467 and the ships in her destroyer squadron 21. Clint's new book Tin Cans & Greyhounds has expanded my view. In the book, he takes the reader through the history of one of the most successful ship classes in warfare history. Not much could have been accomplished without the efforts of destroyer escorts. They were the protectors, the guard dogs and the saviors of many a convoy. They were also successful in dropping more than a few submarines, downing planes and even sinking battleships. If you want a book with comprehensive information on the history of the tin cans, then Clint has done a great job pulling the history together. He travels back and forth easily between the Atlantic and Pacific theaters as the story flows. I highly recommend this book, his first endeavor into the WW2 genre. Congrats Clint!
