N the compilation of Part II. of the Memoirs of Hydrography, the endeavour has been to give the services of the many excellent surveying I officers of the late Indian Navy, equal prominence with those of the Royal Navy. Except in the geographical abridgment, under the heading of “ Progress of Martne Surveys” attached to the Memoirs of the various Hydrographers, the personal services of officers still on the Active List, and employed in the surveying service of the Royal Navy, have not been alluded to ; thereby the lines of official etiquette will not have been over-stepped.

    '^"'^^«^.;^c_x rOFWORLD •WKR II itliiro>iiiiii|r«trMit^i^'it-ri>i«fiinit(i*<j|yM«.<'i|*.*>' mk a ^. N. WESTWOOD nCHTING C1TTDC or WORLD World War II was the last of the great naval wars, the culmination of a century of warship development in which steam, steel and finally aviation had been adapted for naval use. The battles, both big and small, of this war are well known, and the names of some of the ships which fought them are still familiar, names like Bismarck, Warspite and Enterprise. This book presents these celebrated fighting ships, detailing both their war- time careers and their design features. In addition it describes the evolution between the wars of the various ship types : how their designers sought to make compromises to satisfy the require - ments of fighting qualities, sea -going capability, expense, and those of the different naval treaties. Thanks to the research of devoted ship enthusiasts, to the opening of government archives, and the publication of certain memoirs, it is now possible to evaluate World War II warships more perceptively and more accurately than in the first postwar decades. The reader will find, for example, how ships in wartime con- ditions did or did not justify the expecta- tions of their designers, admiralties and taxpayers (though their crews usually had a shrewd idea right from the start of the good and bad qualities of their ships). With its tables and chronology, this book also serves as both a summary of the war at sea and a record of almost all the major vessels involved in it.

  • “File on 4” – “Unmasked: Stories from the Ppe Frontline”
    BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION RADIO 4 TRANSCRIPT OF “FILE ON 4” – “UNMASKED: STORIES FROM THE PPE FRONTLINE” CURRENT AFFAIRS GROUP TRANSMISSION: Tuesday 9th February 2021 2000 - 2040 REPEAT: Sunday 14th February 2021 1700 - 1740 REPORTER: Phil Kemp PRODUCER: Anna Meisel EDITOR: Gail Champion PROGRAMME NUMBER: 20VQ6342LH0 - 1 - THE ATTACHED TRANSCRIPT WAS TYPED FROM A RECORDING AND NOT COPIED FROM AN ORIGINAL SCRIPT. BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF MISHEARING AND THE DIFFICULTY IN SOME CASES OF IDENTIFYING INDIVIDUAL SPEAKERS, THE BBC CANNOT VOUCH FOR ITS COMPLETE ACCURACY. “FILE ON 4” Transmission: Tuesday 9th February 2021 Repeat: Sunday 14th February 2021 Producer: Anna Meisel Reporter: Phil Kemp Editor: Gail Champion ACTUALITY OF BEEPING HOSSAIN: I’m just getting up for my night shifts that I’ve had to pick up because two of our colleagues have come down with Covid and so now there is a rota gap. KEMP: This is not the first year in the NHS that Dr Pushpo Babul Hossain was expecting. HOSSAIN: That means staying up all night, looking after sick patients and wearing PPE for most of the time. So, I shall take you with me on my PPE journey today. KEMP: It’s late January and she’s working as a junior doctor in a South London hospital, on the Covid wards. As we join her on the night shift, we’re going to hear how vitally important the masks, gowns and gloves the NHS provides are for keeping her safe. Some of this equipment ran dangerously short in the early months of the pandemic. In response, the Government belatedly - and at the top of the market - splurged hundreds of millions on kit that’s not fit for purpose.
