		The Leander class, informally known as the Type 12M, comprising twenty-six frigates, was arguably the most successful and popular class of frigates in the Royal Navy's modern history.

		The term "frigate" passed out of use in the mid-19th century and was readopted during World War II by the British Royal Navy to describe a new type of anti-submarine escort vessel that was larger than a corvette, but smaller than a destroyer.
		The frigate was introduced to remedy some of the shortcomings inherent in the corvette design, namely limited armament, a hull form not suited to open ocean work, a single shaft which limited speed and manoeuverability, and a lack of range.
		Some new classes of frigates are optimized for high-speed deployment and combat with small craft ahead of the usual idea of sea combat between equal opponents, an example of this school of thought is the American Littoral Combat Ship, as exemplified by the first ship of the type, USS Freedom.

		The Leander class frigate was a development of the Royal Navy's already successful Whitby class, or Type 12, frigates.
		The final eight ships of the class were built with a beam increased by two feet and were known - unsurprisingly - as the "broad beam" Leanders.
		Although most of the Leander class received major modifications to their systems and weapons fits throughout their lives, the last four ships remained in their original form due to a change in policy regarding mid-life updates.

	LEANDER class
		Leander s were very active with Royal Navy aircraft carrier task forces and in other operations.
		The Leander class never had a frigate type number, in particular not “Type 12M.” Type-numbering of new designs was functionally irrelevant after the RN abandoned the mobilization strategy in 1954.
		The first three Leanders to be modernized were withdrawn from service during 1970–71 even while the final four of the class were being built largely to the then-obsolescent original design.

		The photos themselves have been taken from the pages of the RN's "Navy News" obviously using the original photos and their reproduction is excellent.
		This book will prove most beneficial to any modellers wishing to build a Leander Class Frigate as it appears to cover every RN Leander throughout the RN service life of the class.
		The idea of taking photos from the "Navy News" and republishing them in this format is one that modellers and naval historians should encourage from their respective navies.

		HMNZS TARANAKI was built as a Rothesay Class Frigate, but with NZ modifications, TARANAKI arrived in New Zealand 7 months after her sister ship OTAGO in September 1961.
		In April 1962, TARANAKI became the first of the new New Zealand frigates to join the Far East Fleet at Singapore, a move that ended the Lochs’ 12 years of service in that theatre.
		TARANAKI paid off in June 1982 and she was stripped of fittings suitable as spares for the other frigates and then sold for scrap.

		The principle differences between the Type 61 and the anti-aircraft variant, the Type 41 (Leopard Class), was that instead of a 4.5 inch turret aft, the Type 61 would have an Type 982 air search radar and an enlarged operations room.
		The Type 61 frigates were designed with a displacement of 1,738 tons but this increased to 2,170 tons whilst they were under construction due to modifications and alterations.
		However, the conversion of Battle and Weapon Class Destroyers into Aircraft Direction ships and the increasing preference for general purpose frigates led to the cancellation of the orders for Exeter and Gloucester in 1956, while Coventry was completed as the Leander Class Frigate Penelope.
