The 1939 Brassey's annual provides illustrations and evidence of contemporary naval priorities. It includes Afridi, Liverpool, Mohawk, Eskimo, Cossack, and other Tribal imagery supplied by yards and promotional sources. Roughly six Tribal-class photographs in one volume indicate the class's institutional prominence. Such period publications can supply usable, out-of-copyright illustrations while preserving the way a navy presented its own priorities.
