Download or read book The Royal Fleet Auxiliary written by Thomas A. Adams and published by Bloomsbury Academic. This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the modern British fleet some of the largest, most important - and most potent - vessels are not technically warships, nor are they commanded by Royal Navy officers. This does not prevent them going 'in harm's way' (indeed, many have been awarded Battle Honours), and their pseudo-civilian status allows them to carry out duties forbidden for diplomatic reasons to recognized warships. Formally classed as merchant ships, these vessels are run like the Navy's own shipping company, by a unique organization, the Royal Fleet Auxiliary, which celebrates its centenary in 2005. From humble origins in 1905 with ships that carried coal, and later oil fuel, for the fleet, through hazardous service in two world wars, the RFA has become an absolutely central element in modern naval warfare. This book combines the largely unsung history of this service in peace and war - including a detailed chronology of its activities - with the most comprehensive fleet list ever compiled. Written by the RFA's official historians, it is illustrated in depth from the archives, and completed by extensive appendices covering topics like losses, medals and honors, flags, color schemes, badges and pennant numbers.

Download or read book British Warships in the Age of Sail 1817 1863 written by Rif Winfield and published by Seaforth Publishing. This book was released on 2014-04-30 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The publication of this book sees the completion of a monumental work listing the technical details and career histories of every significant British warship between 1603 and 1863. Following three earlier volumes, this one carries forward the story from the post-Napoleonic War reorganisation of the Royal Navy's rating system to the end of sail as the principal mode of propulsion. ??Although apparently well documented, this is a period of great complexity in the procurement and naval architecture of ships. The introduction of steam radically altered the design of vessels under construction and was later retro-fitted to others, while many 'names' lived a ghostly existence on the Navy List: ships ordered but not started, and in some cases having their intended draughts altered more than once before being cancelled entirely.??This book meticulously sorts out and clarifies these confusions _ a major contribution in itself _ but for the first time it also provides outline service histories for an era that is largely neglected. Like its companion volumes, the book is organised by Rate, classification and class, with significant technical and building data, followed by a concise summary of the careers of each ship in every class. ??With its unique depth of information, this is a work of the utmost importance to every naval historian and general reader interested in the navy of the sailing era and the formative years of the steam navy that supplanted it.
