Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Admirals of the British Navy If the Army, on the contrary, is so much under the microscope, it is largely because it has few or no mysteries. We know the rules. Armies are made up of men like ourselves (only better). They advance as we do, by putting one foot before another, on the solid earth. Their movements are followable, even if we cannot always understand them daily bulletins are printed in the public Press. But the Navy keeps its secrets. Not only have we no notion where it is, but we should be little the Wiser as to its inner purposes if, scanning the illimitable and capricious waves, it should be our fortune to descry here and there a flotilla of its dark grey hulls. Even in harbour most men pointing out a cruiser to their children say That's a dreadnought -a state of confusion bred and fostered by the strange, dark, dangerous element in which the Navy has its being. So much for the causes of our odd willingness to forego one of the chief privileges of British birthright, which is to criticise, even to belittling, all that is ours. But there is justification, too, as the state of the sea to-day testifies. Thanks to the Navy there is at this moment hardly an enemy ship at large on the surface of the waters. The Kaiser's darling ironclads are idle as painted ships upon a painted ocean: not even an ocean, a canal. Our troops in millions have crossed to the Continent. We have enough to eat.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Royal Navy: The Sure Shield of the Empire IT is meet that, from time to time, the British public should be reminded of the debt this country and our world-wide Empire owes to those who go down to the sea in ships and occupy their business in great waters. Books connected with the sea have ever appealed to our Island people, and because the activities of the Royal Navy are ubiquitous and multifarious, books on this phase of sea life appeal, perhaps, more to the popular imagination than those which deal with the somewhat more prosaic, but no less important, work of the Mercantile Navy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty Years in the Royal Navy How far these pages may prove of general interest I cannot tell, but they will at least show how opposed the Navy can be to necessary re forms, involving radical departures from traditional routine; the extent to which national interests may be injured owing to conservative forces within, and without, the public services; and what injury the country may suffer from politicians interfering in technical matters, which they necessarily do not understand. It is my hope that ultimate benefit may result from an honest attempt to shed light upon matters of Vital concern to the nation by means of my personal record. In that belief, these reminiscences have been published, and I would only wish to add that nothing has been set down in malice. My intention has been not to attack persons, but to expose rather the weaknesses and defects of our administrative machinery, in so far as I had experience of it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Navy: The Navy Vigilant Long ago, in the year sixteen hundred and ninety-four, an English noble, Charles Montagu, Earl of Halifax, gave England a piece of advice in four words. He said: Look to your Moate by which counsel he meant that England must Win and must hold the mastery of the seas. In this little book I have tried to give you a notion how that business is done, and why.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroic Deeds of the British Navy in the Great War When Jack Tar abandoned his tarpaulin petticoat his backbone remained where it had always been, and it is still stiff. If the smell of hemp has been succeeded by the reek of oil, his nose is still keen on the scent of the enemy. To bring him into the fight quicker, the creaking of the sails has given place to the rhythm of the turbine. Jack's immediate environment has altered but the sea has not, and Jack is very much like the sea. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Ships of the Royal Navy Classic Reprint written by Oscar Parkes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ships of the Royal Navy This book is written for those who feel more than a passing interest in what is still out First Line of Defence to whom a ship should be a living entity, something to be recognised and understood With a little of technical knowledge and a memory of what has been and not merely to be regarded as a grey hulk of steel with a name. To those who would seek acquaintance with the Fleet, the present naval literature seems either too technical, or else not sufficiently so - there is no happy medium between the naval annuals and the picture books. For this reason my aim has been to try and steer a middle course and to treat with the various types of ships in a semi-technical way which I hope will be neither too advanced for the ordinary reader, nor too elementary for those with a more critical knowledge.

Download or read book The British Navy Its Making and Its Meaning Classic Reprint written by Ernest Protheroe and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Navy, Its Making and Its Meaning NO apology is needed for offering to the youth of the British Empire a new book on the British Navy. It is as true to-day as it was in the spacious times of Queen Elizabeth that Whosoever commands the sea commands the trade, and whosoever commands the trade of the world commands the riches of the world, and, consequently, the world itself. These were the prophetic words of Sir Walter Raleigh, and echoes of them may be found down the pages of British sea power and history. Sir Edward Grey, in 1909, stated the same proposition for our generation in the following words: The Navy is the common security of the Whole Empire. If it ever fail to be that, it will be no use for us to discuss any other subjects, and the maintenance of the Navy in that position must therefore be the first care, not only of us at home, but of the self-governing Dominions beyond the seas and the greatest of. All naval writers, Admiral Mahan, tells us in inspiring language that Nelson's far-distant, storm-beaten ships, upon which the Grand Army never looked, stood between it and the dominion of the world. The world has never seen a more impressive demonstration of the influence of sea-power upon its history. The outbreak of the great war of 1914 confirms and reinforces the views of our statesmen and administrators in the near and distant past. Every night in the early weeks of that war the British public slept securely in the knowledge that the silent work of our magnificent fleet was guarding its own ports and blocking the ports of the enemy and they woke every morning to resume their business as usual, in full confidence that the spirit and tradition accumulated during the centuries would serve to guarantee for centuries to come the integrity of our homeland and the unity of our Empire.
