A source for destroyer equipment delays

Norman Friedman's British destroyer history is recommended for tracing classes delayed by wartime equipment shortages.

Question

Which book lists World War II destroyer escorts delayed by equipment shortages?

Short answer

Norman Friedman's work on British destroyers is the suggested starting point.

Notes

Friedman's work pays close attention to procurement and equipment histories. His British destroyer history is therefore a useful starting point for identifying which Second World War escort classes were delayed and why.
