Amphibious assault : manoeuvre from the sea : amphibious operations from the last century /eidted by Lt Cdr T. T. A. Lovering. "Amphibious Assault: Manoeuvre from the Sea is an ideal starting point for junior commanders to build on their understanding of amphibious operations. For those attending bespoke Amphibious Warfare Courses it will enhance the historical narratives in use. Although leadership, training and morale will always play a part in overcoming any threat, a professional knowledge of amphibious operations is paramount in littoral warfare. It is also useful for a deeper appreciation of the role of the Royal Marines".-- Taken from the Foreword. 2005. • FOLIO • 1 copy available. 355.353.4

Boy seaman R N : the true story 1790 to 1976 "A timely publication in that, until now, there has been no description or information about this element of the Royal Navy. The trials, tribulations, pleasures and contributions of these young lads have ever been a behind-the-scenes aspect of the Senior Service. Prior to development of organised training, young men choosing a career in the Navy served as "cabin boys". In 1790 a more structured form of training was established and these young men served on wooden vessels. Finally in 1985 HMS Ganges was the first of seven Boys Training Shore Establishments opened capable of training up to 2000 boys at a time."--Provided by the publisher. 1996 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 355.231(42)"17/19"

Victory at sea : naval power and the transformation of the global order in World War II /Paul Kennedy ; with paintings by Ian Marshall. "In this engaging narrative, brought to life by marine artist Ian Marshall's beautiful full-color paintings, historian Paul Kennedy grapples with the rise and fall of the Great Powers during World War II. Tracking the movements of the six major navies of the Second World War - the allied navies of Britain, France, and the United States and the Axis navies of Germany, Italy, and Japan - Kennedy tells a story of naval battles, maritime campaigns, convoys, amphibious landings, and strikes from the sea. From the elimination of the Italian, German, and Japanese fleets and almost all of the French fleet, to the end of the era of the big-gunned surface vessel, the advent of the atomic bomb, and the rise of an American economic and military power larger than anything the world had ever seen, Kennedy shows how the strategic landscape for naval affairs was completely altered between 1936 and 1946"--Provided by the publisher. 2022 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 940.54/5

The Eastern Fleet and the Indian Ocean, 1942-1944 : the fleet that had to hide /Charles Stephenson. "The story of the British Eastern Fleet, which operated in the Indian Ocean against Japan, has rarely been told. Although it was the largest fleet deployed by the Royal Navy prior to 1945 and played a vital part in the theatre it was sent to protect, it has no place in the popular consciousness of the naval history of the Second World War. So Charles Stephenson's deeply researched and absorbing narrative gives this forgotten fleet the recognition it deserves. British pre-war naval planning for the Far East is part of the story, as is the disastrous loss of the battleship Prince of Wales and battlecruiser Repulse in 1941, but the body of the book focuses on the new fleet, commanded by Admiral Sir James Somerville, and its operations against the Japanese navy and aircraft as well as Japanese and German submarines. Later in the war, once the fleet had been reinforced with an American aircraft carrier, it was strong enough to take more aggressive actions against the Japanese, and these are described in vivid detail. Charles Stephenson's authoritative study should appeal to readers who have a special interest in the war with Japan, in naval history more generally and Royal Navy in particular."--Provided by the publisher. 2021. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 940.5429

Blood and bushido : Japanese atrocities at sea 1941-1945 "Blood & Bushido vividly recounts the barbaric actions of Japan's navy in the wake of its attacks on Allied shipping, including the ramming of lifeboats, the machine-gunning of survivors and the bayoneting and beheading of captives. As Edwards explains, the ancient Japanese warrior code of Bushido, under which capture is forbidden, was in stark and lethal contrast to the humane code of conduct usually honored by seafarers. Anyone unfortunate enough to fall victim to the Imperial Navy paid a terrible price. Drawing on the dramatic accounts of Allied survivors, Blood & Bushido serves as a reminder of the Imperial Navy's inhumane acts and a tribute to those who perished because of them."--Provided by the publisher. 1991 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 940.545.9(52)
