2182 | HILL, Roger. Destroyer Captain. 255p., illus. London: Kimber, 1975. ISBN: 0718300947.
Covers some of the same ground as Donald's memoirs. He served in Ledbury during working-up, Russian convoys, and Pedestal, then took Grenville to the Adriatic in 1943. After Biscay days and Channel sweeps he returned to the Mediterranean for the Anzio landings. He brought the damaged Jervis back from the Mediterranean and after her repair took part in D-Day. |

A largely photographic record. It was really a post-war class, only five ships being completed before the end of the war. |
