Ships of the Royal Navy, a supplement to the historical index. "Since the two volumes of 'Ships of the Royal Navy' were published by David & Charles in 1969/70 some 500 ships then existing have been sold or otherwise disposed of, and more than 300 new vessels have been added. Further information has come to light on some of the vessels previously listed and many errors needed correcting. This is an attempt at updating the previous work, through in the case of the new ships, only type, displacement, builders and launch dates are given, since readers will have found other particulars from Marine News or from other publications."--Introduction 1986. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 623.82(42)
Merchant Navy : an introduction /edited by Alexander Arnfinn Olsen. "The merchant navy offers a challenging yet exciting career choice for anyone willing to invest the time and effort. It is a career not suited to everyone, naturally, with long and lonely stints at sea surrounded by nothing but the open ocean. Time spent in port is often limited and stressful. Living and working with the same people for weeks and months on end can inevitably lead to flashes of irritation and antagonism. But with all things said and done, there is no experience quite like waking up to the sun rising over the horizon hundreds of miles away from the hustle and bustle of modern life on land.There are many facets to being a seafarer, and whilst this book initially started out as a book on onboard safety, it became readily apparent that there was so much else to say that the original concept morphed into an all embracing introduction to the merchant navy.But to keep the book true to its original intent, it is important to dwell a little on the all important aspect of safety. Onboard safety is an area of utmost importance for members of the ship's crew - from the Master down to the Steward and everyone in between. Safety is something which affects everyone equally, no matter what their rank or their role onboard. The safety of the ship and the safety of everyone onboard her is a responsibility shared equally, and if not, the consequences can be dire. From the simplest one man task to the navigation and manoeuvring of the largest ships in the world, safety is at the very heart of being a competent and considerate seafarer. Container ships, oil tankers, gas carriers, car carriers, bulk carriers, offshore support vessels all have their unique characteristics. But whatever the ship and whatever her job, it is the responsibility of the officers and crew to work together.The purpose of this book, therefore, is to introduce the reader to the fundamental aspects of onboard ship operations that can provide a safe working environment for everyone, from the regulations and standards that governs and controls safety to basic measures that can mitigate hazards and risks. This book touches on the shipboard safety organisation, inductions and new crew member familiarisation, safe means of access to enclosed spaces, general housekeeping, risk assessment and risk management, and specific hazardous activities such as cargo loading and unloading, drydocking, drills and what to do in the event of an emergency.This book has not been written as a definitive handbook, but rather as a handrail to introduce the reader to the vast, wide ranging and expansive nature of living and working onboard a modern merchant navy ship. It is absolutely fair to say this book does not introduce anything new. There are no revelations, or industry secrets. No shortcuts to the top. What this book offers is a single point of reference for the general reader, the merchant navy cadet, and the seasoned seafarer, to gain a glimpse of life on the open ocean.By combining and summarising the key aspects, and providing where appropriate case studies of related incidents, it is hoped this book will act as a comprehensive introduction for anyone with a keen interest in the life and work of the merchant navy."--Provided by the publisher. 2021. • BOOK • 1 copy available.

Navy on the North Atlantic station /James C. Rentfrow. "The development of the U.S. Navy between the Civil War and the Spanish-American War is only lightly chronicled, and this book goes a long way in adding weight as it describes the U.S. Navy's transition from wooden steam- and wind-powered ships to armored steel steamships, and from a patrol force to a true battle fleet, setting the stage for a world-class navy in the 20th century."--Provided by the publisher. 2014. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 355.49"1874/1897"(73)

The Royal Navy : birth of a superpower 1793-1800 /Mark Jessop. "France declared war upon the British in 1793. The burden to conduct a long conflict proved heavy for that island nation. Poverty increased. Liberties and freedoms were sometimes taken away. Thousands of men had to leave their families, and disease, desertion and death meant that many never returned. At first the Royal Navy barely had enough warships to cope, but eight years later she had more than enough. By that time a threat of invasion towards Ireland prompted Parliament to enact a new nation, christened The United Kingdom of Great Britain. As such, 1800 became the final year of the old Kingdom of Great Britain. As she passed away, many of her men and women might have wondered as to what had made her navy a true Neptune. What had assisted the slow birth of a naval 'superpower'? This book seeks to answer that very question."--Provided by the publisher. 2018. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 355.353(42)"1793/1800"
