Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Q-Ships and Their Story The wonderful and brave story of ships and men here pre sented needs but the briefest introduction. The deeds will forever remain one of the most glorious chapters in the chronicles of the sea. No excuse is offered for adding another volume to the literature of the war, for the subject is deserving of greater attention than has hitherto been possible. Lord Jellicoe once remarked that he did not think English people realized the wonderful work which these mystery ships had done in the war, and that in these vessels there had been displayed a spirit of endurance, discipline, and courage the like of which the world had never before seen. To few naval historians, I believe, has it ever been permitted to enjoy such complete opportunities for acquiring authentic information as is here presented. Unquestionably the greatest sphere of Q-ship Operations was off the south-west coast of Ireland, owing to the fact that the enemy submarines from the summer of 1915 to 1918 concentrated their attacks, with certain intervals, on the shipping in the western approaches to the British Isles. It was my good fortune during most of this period to be at sea patrolling off that part of Ireland. These Q-ships were therefore familiar in their various disguises at sea or in harbour at Berehaven and Queenstown during their well earned rest. Throughout this time I kept a diary, and noted down much that would otherwise have been forgotten. Many of the Q-ship officers were my personal friends, and I have enjoyed the hospitality of their ships. Valuable data, too, were obtained from officers of merchant ships who witnessed Q-ships engaging submarines.

Book excerpt: All warfare is merely a contest. In any struggle you see the clashing of will and will, of force against force, of brain against brain. For the impersonal reader it is this contest which has a never-ending interest. A neutral is just as keenly entertained as the playgoer who sits watching the swaying fortunes of the hero in the struggle of the drama. No human being endowed with sympathetic interest, who himself has had to contend with difficulties, fails to be moved by the success or disaster of the contestants in a struggle of which the spectator has no part or lot. If this were not so, neutral newspapers would cease to chronicle the wars of other nations, novels would cease to be published, and plays to be produced.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work presents a historical account of the remarkable and courageous stories of all the combats during the First World War when Germany's use of submarine warfare provoked public uproar and jeopardized Britain's trade routes and its very ability to carry on the war. The British had to think of something to defeat them, and they considered Q-ships to be the right way. Q-ships were heavily armed merchant ships with hidden weaponry created to draw submarines into making surface attacks in order to get a chance to sink them. The work contains details from the tactics that were used by the royal navy to the life on board a Q-ship and finally how they carried out their plan. Written shortly after the war, based on interviews with numerous personalities and several manuscripts related to the subject, this work contains accurate descriptions of the various ships employed and the daring men sailing them, along with several unknown details. This book is a must-read to get a fact-based and comprehensive outlook of the Royal Navy.
