Download or read book Ships of the Royal Navy written by J.J. Colledge and published by Casemate / Greenhill. This book was released on 2010-02-28 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essential historical reference on British warships—fully revised. “Right at the top of the ‘must have’ list . . . A book which will get much use ” (Royal Navy and Maritime Book Reviews). This is the fourth fully revised edition of a book first published in 1970. This longevity is testimony to its enduring value as a reference work—indeed, “Colledge,” as the book is universally known, is still the first stop for anyone wanting more information on any British warship from the fifteenth century to the present day when only the name is known. Each entry gives concise details of dimensions, armament, and service dates, and its alphabetical and chronological arrangement makes it easy to track down the right ship—otherwise the Royal Navy’s tradition of reusing the same names can be misleading. When originally published, the second of the two volumes was devoted to minor fighting ships and hired and requisitioned vessels. For the third edition, published in one volume, this material was omitted, but for this edition, all the genuine fighting ships—like the numbered Coastal Forces craft—have been restored, resulting in a convenient but comprehensive single-volume listing of all significant vessels. Since the death of Jim Colledge, who was widely respected for his pioneering research on the technical details of warships, his magnum opus has been updated, corrected, and expanded with similar enthusiasm and attention to detail by Ben Warlow, a retired naval officer and author of a number of books in the field. “An amazing and immensely valuable work of dedicated and persistent research.” —Baird Maritime

On the following day (Thursday), at 6 a.m., the steam cutter was sent away creeping for the lost anchor. Two divers also went away in the pinnace to search for it. The rain continues to fall in torrents. Shortly after 9 a.m. we left for Hong Kong, not being able to find the lost anchor. We arrived in harbour about 1.30 and returned targets to dockyard. THE NEW YOHK PUBLIC LIBRARY STOH. LFNOX AND TILDE N FOUNDATIONS. CHAPTER VIII. Mine Hunting--The "Exe" Ashore--The Regatta. June 7th.--At 8 a.m. this morning Admiral Noel broke the full Admirals' flag, and the " Albion " fired a salute of 17 guns, which was replied to by the flagship. An American cruiser that was lying in the harbour also saluted him. At 9 a.m. the "Ocean" and "Centurion " broke their paying-off pendants, and as they slipped the buoy at 10.30 the signal was made "Hands cheer ship," and all the ships in the harbour each in turn gave them three hearty cheers as they steamed out, playing " Rolling Home to Merry England." It was raining heavily as they left the harbour. On Thursday, thirteen of our seamen left the ship and went to the "Vengeance," in which ship they are to proceed home prior to their leaving the Service. Other men were sent here from the "Vengeance," but we miss the old faces very much. At 6 a.m. on Friday we left the harbour for Shanghai, accompanied by four destroyers. During the evening we ran into a dense fog, and the fog buoy was put over. On Saturday afternoon we sighted the 6 "Glory," " Hogue," and one destroyer astern, and about 1 1 p.m. they passed us off the starboard hand on their way to Wei-haiWei. June 12th.--At 4 a.m. this morning the destroyers left us and went on ahead. At 7 a.m. the fog became so thick that we had to anchor, as the water in...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few are aware that the actual identity of William Shakespeare, a pseudonym, represents our culture's greatest literary mystery. Even fewer realize that William Shaksper of Stratford-on-Avon, the person annointed by most Professors of English as the Great Playwright, was an uneducated, illiterate businessman who never wrote a single word of prose or poetry. In fact, Will Shakspere was the front man of a conspiracy perpetrated by England's leading politician, Robert Cecil, who, for reasons of greed and power, forced Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford?the true genius playwright?into anonymity. The astonishing power of Conventional Wisdom has kept the ruse going since the early 1600s. Outstanding authorship research in the past century, however, has shown convincingly that de Vere was indeed Shakespeare. The best of that research is now assembled in the present anthology series, ?Building the Case for Edward de Vere as Shakespeare.? It's an exciting story, dramatically presenting powerful evidence of murder?of the name of the world's greatest writing genius, Edward de Vere?and substituting a fraudulent impostor.

Download or read book Aircraft Carriers written by Norman Polmar and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 820 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the post-1945 era, the aircraft carrier has remained a valued weapon despite the development of nuclear weapons, cruise and ballistic missiles, and highly capable submarines. At times, as in the early days of the Korean and Vietnam Wars and in the Falklands conflict, carriers alone could deploy high-performance aircraft to the battlefield. In other operations, such as enforcing the no-fly zones and the U.S. invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, only carriers could provide the bases needed for sustained combat and support operations. This second volume of Norman Polmar's landmark study details the role of carriers in the unification of the U.S. armed forces and strategic deterrence, fiscally constrained Great Britain, the development of British Commonwealth and ex-colonial navies, and the efforts of France and the Netherlands to rebuild their fleets. The role of the modern carrier-nine nations currently possess them-is discussed, as are the issues confronting nations that might acquire them. Chapters on the Soviet Union's effort to produce carriers are included for the first time. The development of both carrier planes and the many "oddball" aircraft that have flown from carriers-such as the U-2 spy plane-are also examined. Appendixes include comprehensive data on all carriers built and converted through 2006. This volume is a valuable companion to the critically acclaimed Volume I, which covers aircraft carrier development and operations from 1909 to 1945.

Download or read book Ireland and the War at Sea 1641 1653 written by Elaine Murphy and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2012 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of the mid-seventeenth century maritime battles between Ireland, England, and Scotland, showing them to have had a dramatic impact on the overall conflict. The conflict on the Irish seaboard between the years 1641 and 1653 was not some peripheral theatre in the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. As this first full-length study of the war at sea on the Irish coast from the outbreak of the Ulster rising in 1641 to the surrender of Inishbofin Island, the last major royalist maritime outpost, in April 1653, shows, it was instead the epicentre of naval conflict with important consequences for the nature and outcome of the land conflicts in Ireland and elsewhere. The book provides a clear and comprehensive narrative account of the war at sea, accompanied by careful contextualisation and a full analysis of its Irish, British and European dimensions. This includes the strategic importance of Irish ports, conflict between organised navies and formidable bands of privateers and pirates, the adoption of new naval technologies and tactics and the relationship between conflict onland and sea. Moving beyond traditional accounts of naval campaigns, it integrates warfare at sea into the wider dimension of political and economic developments in Ireland, England and Scotland. Extensive use is made of a wide range of archival material, in particular the High Court of Admiralty papers held in the National Archives at Kew. Dr Elaine Murphy is Lecturer in Maritime/Naval History, Plymouth University.
