Since the beginning of the 20th century, destroyers have formed the backbone of the United States Navy. In peacetime, they performed such day-to-day tasks such as delivering mail and patrolling America's coastline. However, with the outbreak of World War II, the destroyers were called upon to form the front-line against America's enemies.

Dave McComb, President of the Destroyer History Foundation is a well-known racing sailor and lifelong student of naval history who has organized shipmate events and delivered presentations to veterans’ groups and active duty commands. He lives on Lake George, New York, USA. Paul Wright has painted ships of all kinds for most of his career, specialising in steel and steam warships from the late 19th century to the present day. Paul’s art has illustrated the works of Patrick O’Brien, Dudley Pope and C.S. Forester amongst others, and hangs in many corporate and private collections all over the world. An Associate Member of the Royal Society of Marine Artists, Paul lives and works in Surrey.
