Excerpt from Heroic Deeds of the British Navy in the Great War When Jack Tar abandoned his tarpaulin petticoat his backbone remained where it had always been, and it is still stiff. If the smell of hemp has been succeeded by the reek of oil, his nose is still keen on the scent of the enemy. To bring him into the fight quicker, the creaking of the sails has given place to the rhythm of the turbine. Jack's immediate environment has altered but the sea has not, and Jack is very much like the sea. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Navy and the War Bruins have made good their escape in the very teeth of vastly superior British squadrons. Against all this we have next to nothing to set except the smart little action in the Heligoland Bight, which was forthwith heralded as a glorious victory. Of course we have captured many helpless German merchantmen, and seized some undefended or weakly defended German colonies, but there is nothing very glorious about that. Altogether, it is a sorry tale of inaction, disappointment, and frequent reverse.' To all these crabbed and cross-grained critics I would reply, 0 yo of little faith, how little you know of the things which belong to your peace! You betray an equal ignorance of naval history and of the nature of naval warfare. Do you think that a fleet, however powerful and confident, can engage the enemy if he will not give it the opportunity? Do you think that any nation can ever go to war without suffering occa sioual disappointments and partial reverses Do you not know that in the Great Revolutionary War, which began in 1793, it was more than a year before the first fleet action was fought by Lord Howe on the glorious first of June 1794 Do you forget that throughout that war, both before Trafalgar and after, British merchant-vessels were captured by the French in hundreds every year, scores of them being snapped up even in the Channel day by day, to the very end of the war? Do you not know that the Seven Years' War, the most successful that England ever fought, began with the loss of Minorca and the trial and death of Byng? The Navy has done nothing, forsooth Why, it has done everything, literally everything; for without it nothing could have been done that has been done) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Merchant Fleet at War During a war, which was at last to draw into its vortex practically the whole human race - the issue depending, first and foremost, on sea power - there was little time or opportunity or, indeed, inclination on the part of British seamen to keep a record of their varied activities. The very nature of many of the incidents recorded in the following pages precluded the preparation of detailed reports at the time. Nor can we forget that many of the officers and men, to whose resource, courage, and devotion this volume bears testimony, have joined the great silent army of the dead to whose exploits the freedom of conscience of every man and woman in the British Empire, as well as their state of material comfort, bear witness.

Excerpt from The British Share in the War But if we are bound to be outspoken as to our deficiencies we are compelled to the rule of silence as to much of our past achieve ment and as to all of our future designs. We cannot tell the world the strength of our army in France or how many men and guns we have sent to the Dardanelles or how large a force we are reserving for Home Defence. Though we know that our rate of shipbuilding is the fastest in the world we must be silent as to the new battleships, cruisers, submarines and destroyers which are steadily raising our margin of naval superiority, already great before the war, over the fleet of our adversary. We can say nothing as to the additions to our aircraft, as to increased and increasing output of our munition factories or as to the measure of financial assistance which we have rendered to the allies. These things are known to the Government: the ordinary citizen hardly enquires concerning them, acquiescing in that state of contented ignorance which in war time becomes one of the cardinal virtues.

Excerpt from Germany's High Sea Fleet, in the World War Anglo-saxon and the German conceptions of the world. On the former side is the claim to the position of unrestricted primacy in sea power, to the dominion of the seas, to the prerogative of ocean trade and to a levy on the treasures of all the earth. We are the first nation of the World is the dogma of every Englishman, and he cannot conceive how others can doubt it. English history supplies the proof of the application - just as energetic as inconsiderate - oi this conception. Even one of the greatest eulogists of the English methods in naval warfare - bwhich best reflect English history - the American, Captain Mahan, made famous through his book, The Influence of Sea Power upon History, characterises it in his observations on the North American War of Independence, which ended in 1783's To quote again the [french] summary before given, their [the Allies - America, France and Spain] object was 'to avenge their respective injuries, and to put an end to that tyrannical Empire which England claims to maintain upon the ocean.' The revenge they had obtained was barren of benefit to themselves. They had, so that generation thought, injured England by liberating America; but they had not righted their wrongs in Gibraltar and Jamaica. The English fleet had not received any such treatment as would lessen its haughty self-reliance, the armed neutrality of the Northern Powers had been allowed to pass fruitlessly away, and the English Empire over the seas soon became as tyrannical and more absolute than ever. Still, England has in process of time understood how to create an almost universal recognition of its claim. Its whole policy, based on the authority of its Fleet and the favourable situation of the British Isles, has always been adapted to the principle that all that may contribute ad majorem gloriam Britannias is of ad vantage also to the progress of mankind.

Excerpt from The Londons of the British Fleet: How They Faced the Enemy on the Day of Battle and What Their Story Means for Us to-Day The interest attaching to the Londons of the British Fleet is twofold. First, there is the interest which belongs to the name itself, because of its direct connection with the capital of the Empire, and as that of a famous group of men-of-war of the Royal Navy. The name, indeed, has a claim of its own on our regard; instinct with noble and inspiring traditions and many illustrious memories. The man-of-war name London belongs to a set of "territorial" names - if the term be permissible - that can boast a notable ancestry, and were the first favourites with the hard-fighting tars of the "Old Navy" from the days of Blake to the days of Rodney, when Nelson was a young post-captain. The associations of such names can be made to have a real and a practical use nowadays. They undoubtedly help in stimulating our general interest in the Royal Navy, and in keeping before us the all-important fact, how "it is on the Navy, under the good Providence of God, that our Wealth, Prosperity, and Peace depend."
