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\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 118\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 23, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48271760720093,"sku":"9781804430743","price":16.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/Ug1Tm7nVjg9781804430743.webp?v=1785253116","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/hms-ambuscade-from-1746-to-the-present-day-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
