Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Your Navy as a Fighting Machine This little book is an attempt to produce an entirely non-technical handbook for the use of those who, till European war came along, did not interest themselves in naval matters. Till now a vast number of people have taken the Navy for granted. It has existed to them much as St. Paul´s Cathedral exists. To the great majority there has been no occasion to trouble about anything, save perhaps one or two of the more picturesque features of the Fleet. Now, however, after a hundred years of peace the British Navy is engaged in naval warfare and the entire situation is changed accordingly. It is true that during this past century the Navy has been engaged in various operations. In the Crimean War, for instance, two considerable fleets were employed. Both before and since our ships have bombarded forts and places, like Algiers and Alexandria, but in all the hundred years there has been no war between British fleets and the fleets of a foreign Power.
