This action-packed narrative history of destroyer-class ships begins with destroyers' first incarnation as torpedo boats in 1898 through the last true combat service of the ships in the Vietnam War.

Nicknamed "tin cans" or "greyhounds", destroyers were quick naval ships used to defend larger battleships - and they proved indispensable in America's military victories.

In Tin Cans and Greyhounds, author Clint Johnson brings listeners inside the quarter-inch hulls of destroyers to meet the men who manned the ships' five-inch guns and fought America's wars from inside a "tin can" - risking death by cannon shell, shrapnel, bomb, fire, drowning, exposure, and sharks.

The excellent presentation helped me to better understanding of my father's experience. Thought a little more time could have gone to the Aleution Island campaigns.

This book is very informative. There is so much good information about warships, etc but the delivery is very technical. That’s not the fault of the narrator. He’s excellent. One needs to pay close attention to catch each detail. All told, it’s fascinating to see how things developed by from before WWI and after.

Very good but dry

narrow focus was too limiting. Needed to be a broader discussion of both oceans. It could have been a great read

too narrow a focus

seems to be for novices interested in history more than accounts engineering advances and various classes .
so far nothing one cant acquire free on the net. i was hoping for more than public domain plagiarism.

a lengthy history lessonn
