RIVER CLASS FRIGATES                   1/96 SCALE
These 1370 ton Frigates fulfilled their role as Convoy Escort, Sub killer, and Minesweeper very efficiently. Some were powered with turbines and others with triple expansion, but so efficient was the hull design it made little or no difference to their speed. They fought and suffered hard in WW 11.
Eight were constructed in Canada for the U.S. Navy, and very different they looked with U.S wepons and radar fit.
