US Navy armored cruisers 1890-1933 / Brian Lane Herder ; illustrated by Paul Wright. "At the dawn of the "Steel Navy" era, the rapidly expanding US Navy's fleet of capital ships consisted not only of battleships but also armored cruisers. The forerunner of the battlecruiser, these warships sacrificed the battleship's firepower and protection for superior speed and range, but were controversial. An armoured cruiser was as large and expensive as a battleship, but were not able to fight one. In this book, naval expert Brian Lane Herder explains that despite their great expense, armoured cruisers' tactical roles beyond commerce raiding and protection were limited. However, they had interesting careers: armoured cruisers fought in the Spanish-American War, and after 1906, some replaced US battleships in the Pacific, functioning as oversized gunboats. Two conducted naval aviation experiments, and after World War I, surviving US armoured cruisers represented the US Navy on the Asiatic station. Illustrated throughout with archive photographs and striking orginal artwork, this is a concisely detailed history of some of the US Navy's most controversial and intriguing warships."--Provided by the publisher. 2022. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 359.8353097309045

Canada's bastions of empire : Halifax, Victoria and the Royal Navy 1749-1918 /Bryan Elson. "This book offers a fresh perspective on North American history, and the key role played by Halifax and Victoria in ensuring that Canada emerged as an independent country in the 20th century. Brian Elson focuses on the significance of the bases for the all-powerful British navy at Halifax and Victoria through the 19th century and the First World War. As he explains, Halifax gave the Royal Navy the land base they needed to project British power along the whole east Atlantic coast of North America. Victorias Esquimault did the same thing for the Pacific coast. During the 1800s the United States grew dramatically, adding huge swaths of lands west, south and north that had belonged to France, Spain, Mexico, and Russia while pushing aside native peoples. More than once the American government came into conflict with Britain over British territory in North America. There were threats of war and annexation, and American popular support for absorbing Canada was strong. In this book Bryan Elson shows how the British presence in Halifax, and later in Victoria, stood in the way of US designs on Canada. American leaders knew that the British Navy, with its bases on both coasts, had the power to cut them off from the rest of the world with a naval blockade. The American threat to Canada was effectively countered by the British presence in these two cities. The two bastions played their most important role in the early years of the First World War. As Bryan Elson explains, in 1914 the United States stood aside while the British Empire, including Canada, took on Germany. In this situation, the British navy including the Canadian navys first east coast warship mounted a show of force by stopping all incoming and outgoing traffic from the port of New York. This lasted until the US finally opted into the war, on the side of Britain, in 1917. Meanwhile, on the west coast the Equimault naval base was buttressed by the extraordinary action of the B.C. provincial government which at the start of the war bought two new submarines from a shipyard in Seattle for the fledgling Canadian navy."--Provided by the publisher. 2014 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 355.353(42+71)
