Classed as a destroyer escort, she was the most advanced of her kind, and caused a considerable stir in world naval circles. She was the first of twenty very similar ships whose sleek lines quickly earned them the nickname 'Cadillacs'. . These ships were followed in the 1970s by the very different looking Iroquois class of destroyer-helicopter carriers, and since 1992 by the ultramodern City class patrol frigates. The development and careers of these classes of ships is illustra. te d , with before and after photographs of the many whose appearance has been altered by rebuilding." Fine/Fine.
