Excerpt from The Navy of to-Day The establishment of the national dockyards was an im portant step in the development of our naval forces. Woolwich has been described as the mother-dock of England, but there seems little doubt that Portsmouth was actually the first to be established, the date being 1495. The Thames yard followed shortly after, Chatham in 1510, and Deptford in 1513; and for nearly two hundred years these sufficed, for it was not until 1691 that Devonport dockyard was opened, followed by Sheerness in 1712 and Pembroke in 1812. For some years past Portsmouth and Devonport have been the only national yards to undertake the con struction of large ships. In point of fact they cannot be said really to build them, as their work consists mainly in putting together the materials supplied by the great con tracting firms in the north. Chatham and Pembroke still build small ships of the cruiser classes, and submarines are also built at the latter place; but Sheerness has been special ised as a repairing yard for torpedo-craft. So far as ship building is concerned, Woolwich and Deptford ceased to exist in 1869. Some idea of the amount of work dealt with in these establishments may be obtained from the numbers of workmen employed in them. On July 1, 1913, the figures were: Portsmouth, Devonport, Chatham, 9200; Sheerness, 2250; and Pembroke, 2120: the whole exceeding the population of Lancaster. A great new naval establishment is in course of construction at Rosyth, on the Firth of Forth, and this is to be completed in 1916. As at present intended, however, this will be used exclusively for repairs, and not for shipbuilding. From the time of the defeat of the Spanish Armada down to the introduction of iron Shipbuilding there were no great or far-reaching changes in warship design. Naval architecture, of course, improved, and ships increased considerably in Size; but the guns which were mounted in our first ironclad, the Warrior, fired a shot only two pounds greater in weight than that of the heaviest guns mounted in our Ships at the Armada. The Sovereign of the Seas, launched at Woolwich in 1637. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Here, in this huge book, is a fascinating record of British Naval heritage, preserved as a diary of daily events: not just of great battles but of all that has built the Royal Navy's 700 year tradition and established its great reputation. First published in the 1970's, the book has been completely updated, including the Falklands and the Gulf War. These last remaining copies will sell out very fast, so order now to avoid disappointment.

Following on from The True Glory: The Royal Navy From 1914-1939, this book explores the history of the Royal Navy from the beginning of World War II, to the present day. It is based entirely on first-hand accounts, and all of the principle theatres of war are recalled. The first part of the book examines the battle of the River Plate and Dunkirk, to D-Day and the Pacific war, the U-boat threat in the Atlantic, the Bismark, the Mediterranean and the fall of Crete and the convoys to Malta and the North Sea and Arctic convoys. The memories of the men involved recreate the campaigns, including both surviving naval VC holders.
