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.

ERE we see some of the incidents that would attend the setting out of a British Fleet for active service, the ships being ready coaled, and having all hands on board and sea stores taken in, ready for the receipt ot H final sailing orders. The last thing done when a warship goes to sea is to take in powder, which is received on board after a ship has left her harbour moorings and is clear of the port. In the dockyard, where each ship has been fitting, for the last twenty-four hours before unmooring, the officers and men of the ship have always a busy time, drawing stores and provisions, fetching torpedoes from the torpedo store, while gangs of men pass and repass trundling casks and cases of necessaries of every kind, and artificers hurry to and fro seeing to the finishing touches to the electrical appliances. In our pictures, however, that is now all over, and the last of the powder and shell is coming on board, while anxious groups of officers and signallers keep their eyes on the masthead of the flag-ship for the signal to weigh anchor and head for the open sea. MAL TA DOCKYARD .-—PREPARING FOR SEA. HESE are incidents that attend a Fleet mobilization, or the arrival in port of a ship, after spending a cruise at sea, for a refit, before returning to rejoin her consorts. The scene is in Malta Dockyard, and the particular ship shown is the battle-ship " Camperdown," of the Mediterranean Fleet, having one of her 67-ton guns replaced by a similar piece from T the Gun Wharf reserve. Another battle-ship of the Mediterranean Fleet, the "Trafalgar," may also be seen in dock, having her bottom scraped and under water fittings examined and repaired, to go out at the first opportunity. These are both necessary operations that have to be performed periodically, for the bottoms of ships rapidly grow foul after keeping the sea for any length of time, with consequent loss of speed and waste of engine-power. Of the two ships here seen, the "Camperdown" belongs to the "Admiral" class now being withdrawn from the Mediterranean and replaced by the vessels of the "Royal Sovereign" class. tm THE NAVY AND ARMY ILLUSTRATED.

The "Barfleur" is one of the very fastest battle-ships afloat, her only rivals being found in the Italian Navy, and is considered in all essentials an ideal ship of war. The Nile" is an older ship, but equally, if not more, poweiful; a sister to the " Trafalgar," of 11,940 tons and 17 knots speed. She is a turret ship, and very strongly armoured While the heaviest guns in the "Barfleur" are 10-inch 29-ton guns, those of the "Nile " are 13-5-incn 67-ton guns, the same as are carried by ships of the "Admiral" class- except the "Collingwood' -and those of the -Royal Sovereign" class The " Hawkc' the third ship shown, is a Mardh t2th,-1x97.-] T/f£ NAVY AND ARMY ILLUSTRATED. 181 THE BRITISH; FLEET.

The "Astraea" and the "Sybille" are second-class cruisers, the former of 4,360 tons, and the latter of 3,400 tons, but both of 20-knot speed. They are two recent additions to the Mediterranean Fleet, and in the event of war would prove helpful auxiliaries to the British Admiral, particularly at present when, by the detachment on special service of the first-class cruiser "Gibraltar" (to the East Coast of Africa), and of the first-class cruiser "Theseus," and the second-class cruiser "Forte" (to Benin), Sir JOHN HOPKINS' Fleet: is, temporarily, somewhat below its normal strength in cruisers. Lastly, we have the torpedo-boat destroyer " Ardent," one of the five vessels of her class now doing duty in the Mediterranean. The " Ardent " is a 28-knot boat of 265 tons, and has throughout, so far, proved herself reliable, and one of the best of her class. 182 THE NAVY AND ARMY ILLUSTRATED. [March 12th, 1897.

DMIRAL CANEVARO is well known to the officers of our Mediterranean Fleet, for he was one of the most promi­ A nent Italian officers concerned in making the arrangements for the reception of Sir MICHAEI, SEYMOUR'S squadron, at Leghorn and Naples, in the summer of last year. He is in command of the first or active squadron of the Italian Fleet; and, in connection with the present crisis, is in charge in Cretan waters, not only of his own squadron, but as senior officer on the spot of all the ships of various nationalities there assembled. The " Sicilia" is one of the newest and most powerful of the modern first-class battleships of the Italian Navy, and carries Admiral CANBVARO'S flag in the Levant. In respect to speed she may be said to dispute with our "Barfleur" the palm of being the fastest battle-ship in the world. When launched at Venice, in July, 1891, the '*Sicilia" was christened by Queen Margherita herself, who, after the benediction had been pronounced on the vessel by the Patriarch of Venice, attached a consecrated ring by a ribbon to the stern as the ship entered the water, according to the old Venetian usage of " wedding the ship to the sea."

The " Marco Polo," the first of these ships, is an armoured cruiser, built in 1892, of 4,583 tons and 19 knots speed ; the " Stromboli " is a deck-protected cruiser of 3,427 tons ; the 44 Liguria," a similar vessel, of 2.281 tons, of between 18 and 19 knots speed. An important fact about the Italian Navy to be remembered in connection with the present crisis is the large number of ships which, during the last three years, the Italian Admiralty have kept permanently commissioned and actively employed afloat, thus affording the best possible training for officers and men. In this the Italians have followed the example of our own Admiralty. 184 77//; NAVY AND ARMY ILLUSTRATED. [March 12th, 1807. THE ITALIAN FLEET. THE BATTLESHIP "ANDREA D01UA" Photos.

    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.

  • WARFARE OFFICERS CAREER HANDBOOK II Warfare Officers Career Handbook
    WARFARE OFFICERS CAREER HANDBOOK II WARFARE OFFICERS CAREER HANDBooK Warfare O fficers C areer H andbook IV WARFARE OFFICERS CAREER HANDBooK Foreword The Warfare Officers Career Handbook provides information for members of the Royal Australian Navy’s Warfare community. For the purposes of this handbook, the Warfare community is deemed to include all officers of the Seaman, Pilot and Observer Primary Qualifications. The Warfare Officer Community symbiotically contains personnel from the seaman, Submarine, Aviation, Hydrographic and Meteorological, Mine Clearance Diving and Naval Communications and Intelligence groups. The Warfare Officers Career Handbook is a source document for Warfare Officers to consult as they progress through their careers. It is intended to inform and stimulate consideration of career issues and to provide a coherent guide that articulates Navy’s requirements and expectations. The book provides a summary of the Warfare branch specialisations and the sub-specialisations that are embedded within them, leading in due course to entry into the Charge Program and the Command opportunities that follow. The Warfare Officers Career Handbook also describes the historical derivation of current warfare streams to provide contemporary relevance and the cultural background within which maritime warfare duties are conducted. It discusses the national context in which Warfare Officers discharge their duties. Leadership and ethical matters are explored, as is the inter-relationship between personal attributes, values, leadership, performance and sense of purpose. There is no intention that this handbook replicate or replace extant policy and procedural guidelines. Rather, the handbook focuses on the enduring features of maritime warfare. Policy by its nature is transient. Therefore, as far as possible, the Warfare Officers Career Handbook deals with broad principles and not more narrowly defined policies that rightly belong in other documents.

  • 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.
