Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the British Navy, Vol. 3 of 3: From the Earliest Period to the Present Time Terror did not, in deed face danger or woo renown at the cannon's month; they did not risk their lives in the brief peril and rapturous excitement of battle and victory; but with deliberate courage they confronted for months and years the certain, daily, hourly peril of a navigation among unknown seas, of which all the knowledge that could be acquired only augmented the horror. They went forth voluntarily to endure cold, and darkness, and hunger; cold, of which no language can give an idea to those who have not felt it; darkness, faintly described by the state ment that for three months together they never beheld the sun hunger, which even when appeased, was often relieved only by food that at home the meanest among them would have accounted loathsome and disgusting. Their dangels again were not limited to the ordinary risks of wind and wave. Besides these, there was the fearful ice: sometimes threatening to crush Ships and crew in its irresistible em brace; sometimes hurrying them along they knew not whither; their nautical skill useless; their trusted guide, the compass, no longer to be confided in. Death staring them in the face on every side; and life, while it was spared to them, bereft of all pleasure, ease, or comfort; of all, in Short, that can make life desirable, save the one proud consciousness that they were doing their duty to their country in the way in which she had chosen that it should be done.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Navy, Vol. 3: Its Strength, Resources, and Administration In this regard Great Britain possesses overwhelming advantages in her connected series of coaling stations along the main routes of trade. Our foreign naval stations should be protected against a coup de min by local means, which need not be less efl'ectual because inexpensive. By timely care the necessity for a lavish outlay may be averted. A few well-placed earthworks, a local force of artillerymen, the men who coal the ships being trained to assist at the guns, and a supply of torpedoes, are indispensable; and when these are provided the main duty of the navy will be, not to remain in or off the harbours, which form the bases of our naval operations, but to blockade the enemy in his own ports, and cruise at sea in search of any squadrons which may have set forth to attack our colonies or to interrupt our communications. Smaller vessels are needed, as will be hereafter shown, as auxiliaries to the powerful ships on which our efforts should be mainly concentrated: but the fighting fleet should be adapted primarily for the time of battle. N o success in secondary enterprises can be set in the balance against defeat in the decisive struggles. The minor advantages gained by the French, in seas remote from the principal theatre of war, afforded them no compensation for the defeats they sustained at Aboukir and Trafalgar.

Download or read book A History of the Royal Navy written by Martin Robson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-12-21 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Seven Years War (1756-1763) was the first global conflict and became the key factor in creating the British Empire. This book looks at Britain's maritime strategic, operational and tactical success (and failures), through a wide-ranging history of the Royal Navy's role in the war. By the end of the war in 1763 Britain was by no means a hegemonic power, but it was the only state capable of sustained global power projection on a global scale. Key to Britain's success was political and strategic direction from London, through the war planning of Pitt the Elder and the successful implementation of his policies by a stellar cast of naval and military leaders at an operational and tactical level. Martin Robson highlights the work of some of the key protagonists in the Royal Navy, such as Admiral Hawke whose appreciation of the wider strategic context at Quiberon Bay in 1759 decided the fate of North America, but he also provides insights into the experience of life in the lower decks at this time. Robson ultimately shows that the creation, containment and expansion of the British Empire was made possible by the exercise of maritime power through the Royal Navy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Royal Navy, Vol. 3 of 5: A History From the Earliest Times to the Present Although, as I have said, the progress of the work continues to be somewhat delayed by my personal disabilities, I am not conscious that the book suffers in any other way in consequence of my ill health. Thanks to my numerous and indefatigable helpers and correspondents, I am not, in spite of my necessary absence from home, obliged to forego reference to any documents, state papers, or books which ought to be consulted. Happily, too, most of the materials for my part of the work were collected, and, to some extent, set in order, ere I became a prisoner here and although, of course, I still very often have to appeal for further particulars to the public libraries, the Record Office, private muniment rooms, and other storehouses of fact, there is, I find, remarkably little supple mentary research of this kind which cannot be carried out for me by my assistants. It is a longer process, and a costlier, but not, I hope, a less effective one. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A History of the Royal Navy World War II written by Duncan Redford and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03-27 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Royal Navy's operations in World War II started on 3 September 1939 and continued until the surrender of Japan in August 1945 - there was no 'phoney war' at sea. The navy played a central role in the evacuation of the retreating British army at Dunkirk, and later orchestrated the sinking of Germany's mighty battleship and Hitler's pride, the Bismarck. Without the Royal Navy's attention to the defence of Britain's seaborne trade - especially in the struggle against German U-boats in the Battle of the Atlantic - there would not have been food for the country, fuel for the RAF's operations or supplies to keep the army fighting in Europe, North Africa and the Far East. Yet the outstanding naval contribution to Britain's survival and eventual victory came at a heavy cost in terms of ships and to the men who had to face not just the violence of the enemy, but also the violence of the sea. This book argues that World War II was, effectively, a maritime war; it was the Royal Navy's war.
