Pullen: "Here is the book for which a great many naval veterans have been waiting. In it they will find the details and illustrations of well remembered ships that were their "homes' for many tempestuous months in a most unfriendly environment under comditions of considerable danger. There is a brief outline of each ship's service and enough information to conjure up a host of memories: of commissionings and workups; of convoys and struggles with the worst the North Atlantic could produce, gales of wind, mountainous seas, fog, snow and ice; and for some, encounters with the enemy. This is the definitive account of all those Canadian men-of-war that have served their sovereign and country both in peace and war for over 70 years."
