The secret U-Boat killers and their Royal Navy crews during the Great War at sea The idea of the Q ship as a decoy vessel is not new for they were employed by the Royal Navy in the 17th century to lure Mediterranean pirates to destruction. However, by 1915 during the First World War the war at sea was becoming desperate for the allies. To ensure ultimate victory British and French armies needed materiel from America which was, of course, carried to Europe in merchant vessels. Germany knew that its surface fleet of warships would be unable to neutralise the Royal Navy and so created the U-Boat submarine fleet to significantly disrupt the security of the Atlantic crossing for merchant vessels. One of the more imaginative allied responses to deal with this threat was the creation of Q ships (a code name taken from the vessels home port of Queenstown in Ireland) which would appear to be vulnerable merchant men but which would carry hidden armaments that would be quickly brought in action by special crews whenever a U-Boat made a surface attack. Panels would drop on the side of the Q ships, the White Ensign would be run up the mast and the U-Boat was usually doomed, though this was a perilous pursuit and of the 366 Q ships employed during the course of the war, 66 were lost in action. The vulnerability of the Atlantic crossing was ultimately resolved when the United States joined the war and an effective destroyer escort force based on both sides of the ocean could guard the merchant fleets throughout their voyage. Nevertheless this story of the Q ships, which had their moment in the history of naval warfare, is fascinating and is recommended.

In the far future, an Earth-born woman must negotiate with a fearsome mutant race: “On a par with Ursula LeGuin or Arthur C. Clarke” (Chicago Tribune). Two thousand years into the future, runaway pollution has made the earth uninhabitable except in giant biodomes. The society is an anarchy, with disputes mediated through the Machiavellian Committee for the Revolution. Mars, Venus, and the moon support flourishing colonies of various political stripes.

In this unstable system, the anarchist Paula Mendoza, an agent of the Committee, works to make peace and ultimately protect her people in a catastrophic clash of worlds that destroys the order she knows.

This study examines Operation SEALORDS, the capstone campaign conducted by the brown-water Navy in Vietnam. Specifically, this paper addresses the primary question: Was the SEALORDS campaign successful, and if so, what lessons can be learned from SEALORDS and how might the Navy employ brown-water forces in the future? This thesis breaks down the SEALORDS campaign into three areas of study. First, the study examines the barrier interdiction portion of the campaign designed to stem the flow of enemy infiltration of men and material from Cambodia into the Mekong Delta. Second, this study analyzes the Denial of Sanctuary Operations and Pacification portion of the SEALORDS operations. Last, the Accelerated Turnover to the Vietnamese Program (ACTOV) is examined to determine its effectiveness. The findings of this study suggest that by concentrating naval forces athwart the major infiltration routes along the Cambodian border, SEALORDS effectively cut enemy lines of communication into South Vietnam and severely restricted enemy attempts at infiltration. Additionally, the findings suggest that SEALORDS contributed significantly to pacification efforts in the southern part of III Corps and all of the IV Corps Tactical Zone. Finally, the ACTOV Program is evaluated as successful and put the Navy out ahead of the other services with respect to Vietnamization of the war effort.
