Opposing the slavers : the Royal Navy's campaign against the Atlantic slave trade /Peter Grindal. "Much is known about Britain s role in the Atlantic slave trade during the eighteenth century but few are aware of the sustained campaign against slaving conducted by the Royal Navy after the passing of the Slave Trade Abolition Act of 1807. Peter Grindal provides the definitive account of this little known yet important part of the British, European and American history. Drawing on original sources to provide a comprehensive and engaging narrative of the naval operations against slavers of all nations in particular Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands and Brazil, he describes how illegal traders sought to evade treaty obligations, reveals the obduracy of the USA that prolonged the slave trade, and shows how, despite inadequate resources, the Royal navy s sixty year campaign forced slavers to expend ever greater sums top conduct their business and confront the losses inflicted by capture and condemnation. A work that will transform our understanding of the Royal Navy s campaign against the Atlantic slave trade."--Provided by the publisher. 2016. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 326.4(42)

Imperial defence 1868-1887 / Donald Mackenzie Schurman ; edited by John Beeler. "The technical transformation of the Royal Navy during the Victorian era posed many design, tactical and operational problems for administrators from the 1830s onwards. The switch from sail to steam required the creation of a system of defended coaling stations and a greater infrastructure."--Provided by the publisher. 2000. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 355.353(42)"1868/1887"

British motor gun boat, 1939-45 / Angus Konstam. Motor Gun Boats were the Royal Navy?s Spitfires of the seas. Bristling with small-calibre guns and machine guns, they served in a variety of roles during the war. In the early war period they battled against German E-boats in the English Channel, then went on the offensive, searching the enemy shore for likely targets. At other times, they ran support for Motor Torpedo Boats and were used to deliver commandos on various raids. 2010. • PAMPHLET • 1 copy available. 623.824(42)"1939/1945"

US naval aviation 1898-1945 : the pioneering years to the Second World War, rare photographs from naval archives /Leo Marriott. "The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 sank or crippled almost all of the battleships belonging to the US Navy's Pacific Fleet, but the fleet's aircraft carriers survived to demonstrate that naval aviation was now the dominant factor in the struggle at sea, turning the tide of the Pacific War. That the US Navy had the necessary ships, aircraft and crews was the result of pioneering, far-sighted decisions made in the pre-war years. Before the First World War the navy had recognised the potential of aircraft at sea, and it went on to develop the techniques and equipment that contributed so much to the defeat of the Japanese. This is the fascinating story Leo Marriott tells in this photographic history. In a selection of over 200 rare photographs he traces the growth of US naval aviation from the flimsy seaplanes of the first years of the twentieth century to the mighty armadas that challenged those of the Japanese and, after the carrier battles at Coral Sea and Midway, led the advance across the Pacific. Key aspects of the history are the navy?s first aircraft carriers of the 1920s and the tremendous progress made in the decades between the wars in tactics and strategy as well as in the design of ships and aircraft."--Provided by the publisher. 2021. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 359.00973

Tribal Class frigates / by Patrick Boniface. "The Tribal or Type 81 frigates of the Royal Navy emerged in the early 1960's as a result of design work started towards the end of World War Two into future surface escort vessels. The opportunity was also taken to introduce new technologies, namely gas turbine propulsion and anti submarine helicopters to the ships in order to make them more valuable frigates. The resulting seven members of the Type 81 frigate class were not universally liked but they served the Royal Navy for over three decades in theatres as diverse as East of Suez, the Caribbean and on the Cod War in the Arctic with Iceland in the 1970's. This book tells the design and history of all seven ships of the class from their ordering to their eventual de-commissioning and draws on extensive research and interviews with former members of ships companies."--Provided by the publisher. 2012. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 623.823.6

Admiral David Glasgow Farragut : the Civil War years /Chester G. Hearn. "No admiral in America's Civil War fought with more distinction than David Glasgow Farragut, the first admiral of the U.S. Navy [...] This book fully describes his lifelong involvement with Capt. David Porter, his foster father, and David Dixon Porter, his foster brother. Focusing primarily on the Civil War [...] the author uses [...] family correspondence to detail Farragut's relationships with the elder Porter, who signed up Farragut as a seagoing midshipman in the U.S. Navy at the age of nine, and with Porter's son, the only other full admiral to emerge from the Civil War. Under the senior Porter's tutelage, Farragut by the age of thirteen had participated in more action during the War of 1812 than many of the Navy's senior officers. [...] Farragut's legendary leadership is showcased in Hearn's thrilling description of the Battle of Mobile Bay. The author's detailed chronicle of Farragut's command of the West Gulf Blockading Squadron, crowned by the capture of New Orleans and Port Hudson, reestablishes Farragut's nearly forgotten legacy."--Provided by the publisher. 1998. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 92FARRAGUT
