Download or read book Why Should Britain Tremble? A Submariner's Tale written by Chas Cooke and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-07-21 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The men of the Royal Navy Submarine Service are a breed apart. Often classified as slightly mad they work beneath the waves enclosed in a steel tube, in probably the most dangerous environment in the world. They are a mystery to many, including friends and family. This hilarious and often ribald book lays bare the the often bizarre antics of the crews of Her Majesty's submarines both at sea and ashore. It proves the psychiatrists wrong, submariners are not slightly mad, they are totally insane. This wonderfully funny book gives the reader an insight into the life of those who serve their nation from beneath the waves as well as telling of the toll the lifestyle takes on family life and the loved ones of those who are away, often for months on end, with no contact with home. Chas Cooke served in submarines of the Royal Navy for thirteen years and tells of the odd and often outrageous behaviour of those with whom he shared his life beneath the sea.
Download or read book Submariners written by Keith Hall and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2006-01-15 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Senior Service has, for a hundred years, had submarines. Originally thought to be Un-English, submarines helped us win two World Wars and have played a great part in Britain's nuclear deterrent for the past thirty years. Originally some of the small subs had crews of less than ten men, unlike today's nuclear behemoths with crews of almost one hundred. Submariners are a breed apart; ask any submariner and they'll tell you they think and act differently from the regular navy. Submariners is the story of the submarine service in the words of the men involved.

Book Synopsis Q-Ships and Their Story by : E. Keble Chatterton
Download or read book Q-Ships and Their Story written by E. Keble Chatterton and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work presents a historical account of the remarkable and courageous stories of all the combats during the First World War when Germany's use of submarine warfare provoked public uproar and jeopardized Britain's trade routes and its very ability to carry on the war. The British had to think of something to defeat them, and they considered Q-ships to be the right way. Q-ships were heavily armed merchant ships with hidden weaponry created to draw submarines into making surface attacks in order to get a chance to sink them. The work contains details from the tactics that were used by the royal navy to the life on board a Q-ship and finally how they carried out their plan. Written shortly after the war, based on interviews with numerous personalities and several manuscripts related to the subject, this work contains accurate descriptions of the various ships employed and the daring men sailing them, along with several unknown details. This book is a must-read to get a fact-based and comprehensive outlook of the Royal Navy.

Book Synopsis Secrets of the Conqueror by : Stuart Prebble
Download or read book Secrets of the Conqueror written by Stuart Prebble and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HMS Conqueror is Britain's most famous submarine. It is the only sub since World War Two to have sunk an enemy ship. Conqueror's sinking of the Argentine cruiser Belgrano made inevitable an all-out war over the future of the Falkland Islands, and sparked off one of the most controversial episodes of twentieth century politics. The controversy was fuelled by a war-diary kept by an officer on board HMS Conqueror, and as a young TV producer in the 1980s Stuart Prebble scooped the world by locating the diary's author and getting his story on the record. But in the course of uncovering his Falklands story, Stuart Prebble also learned a military secret which could have come straight out of a Cold War thriller. It involved the Top Secret activities of the Conqueror in the months before and after the Falklands War. Prebble has waited for thirty years to tell his story. It is a story of incredible courage and derring-do, of men who put their lives on the line and were never allowed to tell what they had done. This story, buried under layers of official secrecy for three decades, is one of Britain's great military success stories and can now finally be told.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ebe McCabe’s book opens during the Great Depression. During World War II, dissatisfaction with urban life caused his father to return to his rural hometown with his young family. From there Ebe fulfilled a dream of his parents by attending the Naval Academy, where he learned the “Duty, honor, country” maxim. After graduation, he served on a destroyer, two fleet submarines, two nuclear powered fleet ballistic submarines, and the Atlantic Submarine Force Commander’s staff. That included deployments to the Mediterranean and to the Western Pacific, and seven Polaris submarine patrols. After his active naval duty, he served in the Navy Reserve. Ebe’s civilian career began with a nuclear power plant supplier subsidiary’s nuclear controls engineering section. That was followed by over twenty years as a federal regulator of civilian nuclear power, including response to the Three Mile Island nuclear accident. Part Four of his book presents his personal assessment of nuclear war and nuclear power, with a primary basis being his naval and civilian experience and training. Besides his career, Ebe’s book addresses controversies like the Kent State tragedy, war, marriage, immigration, capitalism vs. socialism, equality, and religion.
