WW2 Destroyer Posters

Small, fast and impossibly brave, the destroyers fought the closest and most desperate actions of the war. This collection reconstructs the “tin cans” in detail — the USS Johnston, Hoel and Kidd that charged a battleship fleet off Samar, the French super-destroyer Le Triomphant, the Greek Velos and many more. Each poster is rendered from archival research and paired with the ship’s true story, honouring the escorts and torpedo boats that punched far above their weight in every theatre of the Second World War.
