Pembroke Dock : a bicentennial look back :1814-2014 /Phil Carradice & Roger MacCallum. "In 2014 Pembroke Dock celebrates 200 years since its founding, when a Royal Dockyard - the only one ever to exist in Wales - was established here on the banks of Milford Haven. The dockyard was the reason for the rapid development of the town, with people from rural Pembrokeshire and from all around Britain moving to the area to work in the dockyard and the industries that serviced it. The closure of the dockyard in 1926 was a severe blow, and many families moved from the area to other dockyard towns. A new use was found for the dockyard and in the 1930s the RAF took over much of the old yard. Pembroke Dock was above all a military town, since, in addition to the RAF base, there were Army garrisons at Llanion, Defensible and Pennar Barracks. Today there is no military presence and the dockyard now hosts a ferry to Ireland. Pembroke Dock, 1814-2014: A Bicentennial Look Back presents readers with a series of photographs and old prints, illustrating the development of the town from the first half of the nineteenth century to the present day."--Provided by the publisher. 2014. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 623.81(429.9)

HMS Defiance : Devonport's submarine base /Keith Hall. Plymouth has a long been used as a naval base. From the towns sheltered waters such famous seaman as Drake and Raleigh sailed. Devonport Dockyard started life in 1693 when a wet and dry dock was constructed, in what is now part of the South Yard. From these meagre beginnings the dockyard grew into the biggest naval base in Western Europe. It covers an area of some 622 acres, contains 25 tidal basins, 5 basins and 12 dry docks of varying sizes that can accommodate frigates, submarines and the through deck cruisers. Until the A and T class submarines of the 2nd Submarine Squadron and their depot ship HMS Forth arrived in Devonport in 1961 there had not been a submarine squadron based in Plymouth since the end of the First World War. Although submarines were far from a strange sight, the Dockyard built many submarines over the years of various classes. 2008. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 623.81(423.5)
