The \u003cem\u003eAmbuscades\u003c\/em\u003e were frigates and destroyers, the fleet's workhorses in almost every major naval conflict - from being the eyes of the fleet in the \u003cstrong\u003eAge of Sail\u003c\/strong\u003e to torpedo attacks at the \u003cstrong\u003eBattle of Jutland\u003c\/strong\u003e in 1916 to shielding the carriers and transports in the \u003cstrong\u003eFalklands War\u003c\/strong\u003e. They also patrolled the sea lanes and protected the convoys that fed the nation. This is the story of the ships and the seamen who crewed \u003cem\u003eAmbuscade\u003c\/em\u003e over nearly three centuries. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe last \u003cem\u003eAmbuscade\u003c\/em\u003e (a Type 21 frigate) was sold to Pakistan in 1993 and renamed PNS \u003cem\u003eTariq\u003c\/em\u003e. In 2023, the \u003cstrong\u003ePakistan Navy\u003c\/strong\u003e kindly agreed to donate the ship to the charity Clyde Naval Heritage. The charity aims to bring her back to the Clyde, where she was built, within a museum focusing on the Falklands War. That project inspires this book, and all the profits will be donated to Clyde Naval Heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dave Watson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1804430749\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781804430743\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Balkan Military History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/23\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.25d","brand":"Dave Watson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48519423131903,"sku":"9781804430743","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_96140946-eac5-4355-a54d-45d311837ef4.jpg?v=1778737469","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hms-ambuscade-dave-watson-9781804430743","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
