    Sam Mclean Major Research Paper 095708700 Acknowledgements

    Sam McLean Major Research Paper 095708700 Acknowledgements This project is not the paper that I proposed at the beginning of my MA studies. It is, as a result of those studies, much more focused in purpose, conception, and execution. This paper reflects the transition from classic naval historian to cultural historian and is the result of supervision by Professors Roger Sarty, Elizabeth Ewan, George Urbaniak, Geoffrey Hayes and Greta Kroeker. Their combined efforts led me to re-evaluate my historical interests and approach, and helped me to discover the importance of historical complexity as the foundation of understanding. Thanks also to the members of the Canadian Nautical Research Society who responded to my presentation of this paper at the society’s annual conference in June 2010 with helpful comments and recommendations. Finally, thanks again to Professor Roger Sarty for his patience and aid in the final stages of this project. 1 Sam McLean Major Research Paper 095708700 Introduction During the first part of the Second World War, Sir Herbert Richmond, professor at Cambridge University and the leading British naval historian, asserted that old-fashioned historical education of the Royal Navy’s officers had a deleterious effect on the navy’s operational performance. This paper is an examination of the impact of what Richmond called the “Blood and Thunder” school of history on the Royal Navy’s professional culture, and the effects of that culture on tactical decision-making during the period 1939 to 1943. The objective is to gain further insight into the institutional culture of the Royal Navy, greater understanding of how officers made tactical decisions, but most importantly endeavour to test more precisely the linkages between professional culture and decision-making in battle.

  • Disaster in Harbour: the Loss of HMS Vanguard

    Disaster in Harbour: the Loss of HMS Vanguard

    Disaster in Harbour: The Loss of HMS Vanguard William Schleihauf Lying peacefully at anchor in the sheltered waters of Scapa Flow, the battleship HMS Vanguard suddenly blew-up on a quiet summer night in July 1917, leaving but a handful of survivors. Accident or sabotage? While the trail of evidence uncovered by the Court of Inquiry furnished no definitive answer, the conclusion that it was an accidental cordite explosion makes the most sense and has not been seriously challenged to this day. Her remains are still in the Flow, but it is unlikely that even a full archaeological survey could determine anything other than that it was indeed an explosion in one of the amidships magazines which sank the ship. The records of the Court of Inquiry shed light on the internal routines of the Royal Navy's capital ships: even in such basic (and vital) procedures as the taking of magazine temperatures, each ship handled matters in its own way. Of equal interest are the many improvements which resulted from the loss of Vanguard. Surprisingly little has been written about the sudden, catastrophic sinking of this powerful man-of-war - it is not even mentioned in the official History. ' Typical is the simple "destroyed by internal explosion at Scapa 9 July '17" in Oscar Parkes' British Battleships.2 Other later references provide little more: even R. A. Burt in his detailed British Battleships of World War One only summarises the evidence.3 In his book about the loss of the armoured cruiser HMS Natal, Cecil Hampshire discusses the Vanguard tragedy but the description is marred by his attempt to use very circumstantial evidence to find a saboteur.4 The paper before you is an in-depth look at Vanguard's destruction and the lessons learned from it, with emphasis placed on the technical tidbits that are of value when trying to learn about the day-to-day habits of the wartime Royal Navy.

  • The British Flag-Ships

    FRIDAY, MARCH 12th, 1897. THE BRITISH FLAG-SHIPS. Plioto. R. ELLIS, Malta, Copyright.—HUDSON & KEAKh- H.M.S. " RAMILLIES." Photo. SYMONDS & CO., Portsmouth. H.M.S. " RE VENGE" HE "Ramillies" and the "Revenge" are the two flag-ships of the British Mediterranean Fleet, the *' Ramillies" T flying the flag of Admiral Sir JOHN O. HOPKINS, K.C.B., the Commander-in-Chief, and the " Revenge," the flag-ship of Rear-Admiral ROBERT H. HARRIS, the second in command. The two ships are sister first-class battle-ships of the "Royal Sovereign" type, of 14,150 tons each, and identical in speed and manoeuvring capabilities—most important points for two ships which might lead separate groups of ships in action. In action, each flag-ship's place would ordinarily be at the head of her own squadron. From the senior flag-ship all orders and signals would be made; and should it become impossible for signalling to be carried on, owing to masts, etc., being shot away, each group of ships would simply watch and follow the movements of their own flag-ship, the Commander-in-Chiefs flag-ship setting the example for her group of ships, and the second in command in his flag-ship following suit. 178 THE NAVY AND ARMY ILLUSTRATED.
