Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cinderellas of the Fleet This Little Book does not pretend to be a history of anti-submarine warfare. Neither is it a scientific treatise on the instruments and methods used in this the newest phase of naval fighting. On the other hand, I am afraid there is all too little in it of the romantic personal element, in which a war fought largely by kid reservists in small boats is bound to be rich. It is the story of an idea and how it grew in the face of indifference and ridicule to a success as unexpected by the regular Navy as it was by the average layman. It is the story of the Submarine Chasers. Without wishing to underrate the part played in the war by the high-seas fleets of Great Britain and our own country, we may say that their part was largely a potential one. The actual work of strafing the U-boat, which was the big job of the war, was done by the scrubs - the destroyers, the yachts, the trawlers, the drifters, the motor craft, that Rudyard Kipling so aptly dubbed "The Fringes of the Fleet." When the war cloud burst over Europe the submarine was the big, new, practically untried instrument of naval warfare, to which the Germans, foiled in their attempt to terminate the conflict in a single, rapid thrust, looked to isolate England and to bring down the mighty British Fleet, bit by bit, to the level of their own. No weapon had yet been devised to counter it nor any successful method of fighting it evolved. Its success was appalling and to make matters worse, it seemed to evolve and multiply much more rapidly than the means and methods of combatting it. But gradually, out of the chaos and the experience dearly bought with countless lives and scores of ships, there was evolved a method of defense against the submarine and then a method of aggressive warfare, with specially designed boats and numerous and elaborate instruments for apprehending and destroying the tin shark.

Excerpt: ...painter and make fast, then the gasoline hose next, and in 40 minutes our tanks would be full. Two boats fuelled astern as well, and I have seen six chasers at a time performing the operation. It sounds simple, but in a chop or heavy ground swell it took all the niceties of judgment and seamanship to get close enough to make fast and yet keep clear and escape being cracked like an egg against the steel sides of the rolling tanker. But the longest trip must terminate, and one morning we sighted the Island of San Miguel, Azores, and finally crept behind the seawall of old-world Ponta Delgada, and feasted on fresh picked luscious pineapples, we were quite willing to forget the past two weeks and continue the war. That night, the greasy, dirty American Pension rivalled Rector's in our eyes, and the Michelenses Club appeared as festive as any cabaret. We spent twelve days there, expediting repairs quite as usual, prowling around through the stinks of the town, seeking souvenirs, or roaming the walled-in fields that rose to the splendid rolling heights. Evenings found us at the club for cards and roulette, and always Anton, his sandwiches and his many merry bottles. And then the Flu descended to ravage poor bewildered Ponta Delgada. Thousands on the Island died, for among those ignorant islanders there were few who knew of sanitation and none had medicines. In a few days we found water scarce and fresh provisions impossible to obtain. So to sea we went, this time without our fuel and mother ships, accompanied only by one destroyer. We left in the midst of a howling northwester which grew worse within 24 hours. If the wind had not been astern our scanty fuel supply would never have lasted to Portugal. We battled for days--scattered apart into...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An untold story of scientists and engineers who changed the course of World War I Roy R. Manstan's new book documents the rise of German submarines in World War I and the Allies' successful response of tracking them with innovative listening devices—precursors to modern sonar. The Listeners: U-boat Hunters During the Great War details the struggle to find a solution to the unanticipated efficiency of the German U-boat as an undersea predator. Success or failure was in the hands and minds of the scientists and naval personnel at the Naval Experimental Station in New London, Connecticut. Through the use of archival materials, personal papers, and memoirs The Listeners takes readers into the world of the civilian scientists and engineers and naval personnel who were directly involved with the development and use of submarine detection technology during the war.

Download or read book Over There written by Byron Farwell and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 1999 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within two weeks the French troops had mutinied, leaving the Western Front practically undefended. In the same month, Lenin arrived in Moscow on the heels of the Russian Revolution and vowed to make peace with Germany. To make matters worse, the Allies had reason to be dubious about the help they were receiving from across the Atlantic. The U.S. Army ranked sixteenth in the world (behind Portugal), and most of its soldiers were poorly trained. Byron Farwell's informed, stirring account describes not only how the United States turned the tide of the war but also how the war served as a national coming-of-age experience, with all of the concomitant awkwardness and confusion. Moving deftly from the home front to the Marne, from statistics and strategy to vivid accounts of the chaotic violence of the battlefield, Farwell draws a comprehensive portrait of America's brutal entrance into the twentieth century.
