This is the story of Canada's navy in WW2 amd the part it played in
escorting the convoys between North America and Great Britain. The problems
in building, manning and then keeping the corvette fleet at sea and the
squabbles between various authorities are all described. Also covered
are the technical developments of radar, HF/DF, and other modifications
needed by the corvettes, and the reasons why they were delayed.
I have read this book twice within the last year, and find it to be
most informative
