Download or read book Ships of the Royal Navy written by J J Colledge and published by Seaforth Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-28 with total page 1061 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newly updated fifth edition: The remarkable reference that is “absolutely essential in every naval historian’s library” (Warship World). This is the latest updated edition of the book known simply as “Colledge” for its longtime reputation as the first stop for anyone wanting more information on any British warship from the fifteenth century to the present day when only the name is known. Each entry gives concise details of dimensions, armament, and service dates, and the volume’s alphabetical and chronological arrangement makes it easy to track down the right ship—avoiding the confusion and errors that can result due to the Royal Navy’s tradition of re-using the same names. This fifth edition contains some 200 new entries and revisions to many older entries. These reflect the demise of the post-Cold War ships as the Royal Navy was shrunk down as part of the peace dividend and successive defense reviews saw the loss of significant ships classes such as the Type 42 destroyers, Type 22 frigates, and the Illustrious class carriers. It is now being re-equipped in the face of new global challenges and has seen the introduction of the Queen Elizabeth class carriers, the largest ships ever built for the RN; the Type 45 destroyers; and Type 26 frigates and new patrol ships which will take on more global policing roles. Regarding submarines, the Cold War S and T classes are being replaced by the Astute class, and the deterrent role undertaken by the Vanguard class is to be carried forward by the Dreadnought class. Also included are the new RFAs, which are increasingly taking on frontline operations to release the small number of escorts to more combative roles. In addition, there are updates to the Royal Australian, Canadian, and New Zealand navies, which have programs to introduce new destroyers, Arctic patrol vessels, submarines, and support ships. Since the death of Jim Colledge, who was widely respected for his pioneering research on the technical details of warships, his magnum opus has been updated, corrected and expanded with similar enthusiasm and attention to detail by Ben Warlow, a retired naval officer and author of a number of books in the field. “An authoritative guide to British warships through the ages.” —Ships Monthly “The automatic starting point of research on Royal Navy ships.” —Lloyd’s List “[A] quite invaluable reference tool.” —The Mariner’s Mirror

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Naval Efficiency: The War-Readiness of the Fleet; List and Particulars of Effective Ships of the World's Navies A second reason for hoping that this volume may not be without its use is to be found in the cry that is raised on all sides for a Navy on a war footing. Evolution, and not revolution, is the safest and most lasting method of progress. There is peril in the repeated demands upon the Admiralty to abandon all the methods of the past and embark upon adventures which experience may show to have been impolitic. It is repeatedly claimed that we need a variety of auxiliary vessels always in commission accompanying the squadrons on their cruises; that the Admirals should be younger; that several of the squadrons in distant parts of the world should be abolished; that the personnel of the Fleet should be largely augmented, and that the Admiralty itself should be turned upside down in order that the administration of our Navy may be brought more into line with that of the German Fleet. In all clamour there lies serious danger. Every reform requires deliberate consideration. The machinery in itself is not so anachronous as is hysterically claimed.

Download or read book Ships of the Royal Navy written by J. J. Colledge and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essential work, fully revised up to 2010 . . .This is the fourth fully revised edition of a book first published in 1970. This longevity is testimony to its enduring value as a reference work-indeed, 'Colledge' (as the book is universally known) is still the first stop for anyone wanting more information on any British warship from the 15th century to the present day when only the name is known. Each entry gives concise details of dimensions, armament, and service dates, and its alphabetical and chronological arrangement makes it easy to track down the right ship (otherwise the Royal Navy's tradition of re-using the same names can be misleading). When originally published, the second of the two volumes was devoted to minor fighting ships, and hired and requisitioned vessels. For the 3rd edition, published in one volume, this material was omitted, but for this edition all the genuine fighting ships-like the numbered Coastal Forces craft-have been restored, resulting in a convenient but comprehensive single-volume listing of all significant vessels.Since the death of Jim Colledge, who was widely respected for his pioneering research on the technical details of warships, his magnum opus has been updated, corrected and expanded with similar enthusiasm and attention to detail by Ben Warlow, a retired naval officer and author of a number of books in the field.returncharacterreturncharacter returncharacterreturncharacter REVIEWS returncharacterreturncharacter..".provides the reader with a historical index of every RN ship to date, starting with the 1902-built submarine A1 and ending with ZZ31-30, a 1940's built minesweeper...
