The author describes this as not a Naval History, but a History of the British Navy. He looks at the vessels from Round Ship to Battleship, Officers, Men and Managmement, and in the final section Weapons, Tactics and battles. Each section has a further contents page which introduces the differing topics covered. 69 Black and white photos and illustrations
Britain’s successful war with Argentina to repossess the Falklands witnessed the largest combined sea and air battles fought since the Second World War. The courage of Royal Navy commanders, sailors and pilots was put to a severe test on more than one occasion and was never found wanting. But there were tragic losses of men and ships and there remain disturbing questions which need to be answered.
A history of British Columbia’s Lighthouses and their keepers. Black and white photos.
