  Norman Friedman is renowned for the clarity with which he explains the policy and strategy changes that drive design and this latest book lives up to that reputation. Not content to merely describe the development of each class in full technical detail, he uses previously unpublished material from his research in many archives to draw an entirely new and convincing picture of British naval policy over the previous seventy years and more. The Author
  
  Norman Friedman is one of the best-known naval analysts in the US, but he is as much at home with the history of warship technology as he is with contemporary defence issues. Because of his background in policy and strategy, he is especially adept at explaining why and not just how navies and their warships have developed along particular lines. This concern for the rationale of design gives his many books a unique depth. He has written on broad issues of modern military interest, including an award-winning history of the Cold War, but in the field of warship development his greatest sustained achievement is probably the eight-volume series on the design of different US warship types. These combine in-depth original research with penetrating insight and analysis, an approach which Dr Friedman extends to his latest book, a study of British surface escorts since the late 1930s. A resident of New York, Dr Friedman is a regular guest commentator on television, and lectures widely on professional defence issues.

  Putting out so many untried designs at once is called concurrent development, said Norman Friedman, a New York-based naval analyst and author of a series of design histories of U.S. warships."It's a major sin in acquisition.You're not supposed to do it," he said."Each platform involves major, radical change.That suggests an optimism which past experience would indicate is misplaced," Friedman cautioned.
  
  Friedman decried the absence of a more deliberate approach to fielding new technology and concepts.
  
  "There's a fascination with radical change as a way of solving problems," he said, noting that the depth of institutional knowledge in the Navy dropped dramatically in the 1990s with the cost-saving elimination of much of the technical expertise at Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), which oversees the design, development and construction of new ships."The Navy has dumped most of its internal technological expertise," he said."These designs are creations of private companies."
  
  Northrop Grumman performed much of the design work on the new destroyer and carrier, and General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin are offering competing designs for the LCS.
  
  "What you're seeing is that we've privatized defense contracting to where there are very few players," Friedman noted.

  Norman Friedman, a New York-based naval analyst, agreed with Baker's assessment."I think Chavez is spending the money before he has it," Friedman said."And the Russians might be willing to give him stuff before he can pay for it."Acquisition of new submarines would be a threat to the U.S., Friedman noted."Venezuelan subs are the only weapon Chavez has which can physically hurt Americans," he said.
