They were initially armed with a mix of rifled breech-loading and muzzle-loading smoothbore guns, but the Armstrong breech-loading guns proved unreliable and were ultimately withdrawn from service. The ships spent their first commission with the Channel Fleet before being rearmed with new rifled muzzle-loading guns in the late s. Warrior rejoined the Channel Fleet after her refit while Black Prince joined the 1st Class Reserve and joined the fleet during its annual manoeuvres. The HMS Warrior - Ironclad ships exchanged roles after another refit in the mids. Both ships spent most of the last two decades of the 19th century in reserve. Warrior was hulked in and survived to be restored in as a museum ship. Black Prince became a training ship in and was hulked in before being sold for scrap in The Warrior -class ships have been described as revolutionary, but in truth they were more evolutionary than not as everything HMS Warrior - Ironclad their wrought iron armour had been in use by ocean-going ships for years. Brown commented, "What made [Warrior] truly novel was the way in which these individual aspects were blended together, making her the biggest and most powerful warship in the world. They were designed by Chief Constructor of the Navy Isaac Watts as gun armoured frigates largely based on the fine lines of the large frigate Mersey.

    Master Narrative Ours Is the Epic Story of the Royal Navy, Its Impact on Britain and the World from Its Origins in 625 A.D

    NMRN Master Narrative Ours is the epic story of the Royal Navy, its impact on Britain and the world from its origins in 625 A.D. to the present day. We will tell this emotionally-coloured and nuanced story, one of triumph and achievement as well as failure and muddle, through four key themes:- People. We tell the story of the Royal Navy’s people. We examine the qualities that distinguish people serving at sea: courage, loyalty and sacrifice but also incidents of ignorance, cruelty and cowardice. We trace the changes from the amateur ‘soldiers at sea’, through the professionalization of officers and then ships’ companies, onto the ‘citizen sailors’ who fought the World Wars and finally to today’s small, elite force of men and women. We highlight the change as people are rewarded in war with personal profit and prize money but then dispensed with in peace, to the different kind of recognition given to salaried public servants. Increasingly the people’s story becomes one of highly trained specialists, often serving in branches with strong corporate identities: the Royal Marines, the Submarine Service and the Fleet Air Arm. We will examine these identities and the Royal Navy’s unique camaraderie, characterised by simultaneous loyalties to ship, trade, branch, service and comrades. Purpose. We tell the story of the Royal Navy’s roles in the past, and explain its purpose today. Using examples of what the service did and continues to do, we show how for centuries it was the pre-eminent agent of first the British Crown and then of state policy throughout the world.

Thesis submitted for Philosophy Doctor degree The University of Saint Andrews Maritime Studies 1996 EC A UNI L/ rJ ý t\ jxý DF, ÄNý Jorge Ortiz-Sotelo Peru and the British Naval Station ABSTRACT The protection of British interests in the Pacific was the basic reason to detach a number of Royal Navy's vessels to that Ocean during the Nineteenth Century. There were several British interests in the area, and an assorted number of Britons established in Spanish America since the beginning of the struggle for Independence. Amongst them, merchants was perhaps the most important and influential group, pressing on their government for protection to their trade. As soon as independence reached the western coast of America, a new space was created for British presence. First Valparaiso and afterwards Callao, British merchants were soon firmly established in that part of South America. As had happened in the Atlantic coast, their claims for protection were attended by the British government through the Pacific Squadron, under the flag of the Commander-in-Chief of the South American Station, until 1837, when it was raised to a separate Station.

This will provide advantage for readers and the Society. The most significant benefit of NHSA membership of the Society is receipt of our quarterly magazine, the Naval Historical Review which is add free, up to fifty pages in length and includes 8 to 10 previously unpublished stories on a variety of historical and contemporary subjects. Stories greater than two years old are made available to the community through our website. The membership form is available on the website. If more information is required on either membership or volunteering for the Society, please give us a call or e-mail us. Activities by our regular band of willing volunteers in the Boatshed, continue to be diverse, interesting and satisfying but we need new helpers as the range of IT and web based activities grows. Many of these can be done remotely. Other activities range from routine mail outs to guiding dockyard tours, responding to research queries, researching and writing stories.
