A biographical dictionary of the twentieth-century Royal Navy : volume 1 :admirals of the Fleet and admirals "Despite its recent decline in size and influence, for much of the twentieth century the Royal Navy was a major player in world history. Its senior officers carried out - and sometimes made - British policy in peace and war, but with the exception of a few star figures the details of their careers have never been published. This book is the first volume of a major study intended to provide a resumâe of the service lives of every flag officer, in the style of the great nineteenth century biographical dictionaries of Marshall and O'Byrne. Every entry is based on primary sources, including the Navy's confidential personnel files, cross-referenced with general historical data and, in the case of living officers, correspondence with the subjects themselves. The book comes with a CD which contains the service histories and careers of 336 most senior admirals on the Navy List from 1900 onwards. The length of each entry varies with the importance of the officer covered, but each includes both an outline of their careers and significant dates, like promotions and awards. In all, the CD contains more than 600,000 words - a truly epic work. The majority are not even included in the Dictionary of National Biography, and as such, this work will be a boon to historians, and invaluable to genealogists. A monumental and unique naval historical resource."--Provided by the publisher. 2013. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 92:355.333.3(42)"19"
British Pacific Fleet 1944-45 : the Royal Navy in the downfall of Japan /Brian Lane Herder ; illustrated "The British Pacific Fleet was the Royal Navy's primary contribution to the direct defeat of Japan in 1945, and is among the most powerful fleets Britain has ever sent into action. With naval supremacy in home waters achieved by 1944, many of the best and most modern ships in the Royal Navy could be sent to the Pacific, including battleships, submarines, light forces, replenishment groups, and shore establishment. However, the main striking force was the fast carrier force. Illustrated throughout with dramatic new artwork, 3D diagrams, maps and archive photos, this book explains how the Royal Navy joined the Pacific carrier war, and how the fleet adopted the US Navy's ruthlessly effective fast carrier doctrine. With ships optimized for short-range operations in the Atlantic and Mediterranean, the BPF had to rapidly adapt to the long-range, high-tempo warfare of the Pacific, and the story is often one of inspired improvisation. The BPF shared the US Navy's terrifying experience of kamikaze strikes, and famously its armoured carriers proved tougher than the US counterparts. With discussion of the ships, their technology, how the fleet was organized and commanded, and how it fought the campaign, this book is a fascinating exploration of the Royal Navy's part in the victory over Japan." 2023. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 940.545941

The radio officer is dead : life at sea in the Merchant Navy for a Radio Officer in the 1970s /John Brew "Have you ever wondered what it must have been like to live and work on a supertanker for six months or more at a time? Do you know what a Marine Radio Officer really did apart from sending messages in Morse Code? These and many other questions are answered in this thorough and readable account of the experiences of a Radio Officer who served in the Merchant Navy for a number of years in the 1970's.The ships he sailed on, the ports where he went ashore, the storms he endured, the time spent back at college and the many and varied people he worked with - all these themes are fully explored in this book. Like many other professions, that of the Marine Radio Officer fell prey to advances in communications technology. This account helps to explain what it was all about before it becomes a forgotten part of life at sea in the twentieth century."--Provided by the publisher. 2021. • BOOK • 1 copy available.
