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and muzzle-loading smoothbore guns, but the Armstrong breech-loading guns proved unreliable and were ultimately withdrawn from service.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.

    MG 34 AND MG 42 MACHINE GUNS CHRIS MC NAB © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com MG 34 AND MG 42 MACHINE GUNS CHRIS McNAB Series Editor Martin Pegler © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 4 DEVELOPMENT 8 The ‘universal’ machine gun USE 27 Flexible firepower IMPACT 62 ‘Hitler’s buzzsaw’ CONCLUSION 74 GLOSSARY 77 BIBLIOGRAPHY & FURTHER READING 78 INDEX 80 © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com INTRODUCTION Although in war all enemy weapons are potential sources of fear, some seem to have a deeper grip on the imagination than others. The AK-47, for example, is actually no more lethal than most other small arms in its class, but popular notoriety and Hollywood representations tend to credit it with superior power and lethality. Similarly, the bayonet actually killed relatively few men in World War I, but the sheer thought of an enraged foe bearing down on you with more than 30cm of sharpened steel was the stuff of nightmares to both sides. In some cases, however, fear has been perfectly justified. During both world wars, for example, artillery caused between 59 and 80 per cent of all casualties (depending on your source), and hence took a justifiable top slot in surveys of most feared tools of violence. The subjects of this book – the MG 34 and MG 42, plus derivatives – are interesting case studies within the scale of soldiers’ fears. Regarding the latter weapon, a US wartime information movie once declared that the gun’s ‘bark was worse than its bite’, no doubt a well-intentioned comment intended to reduce mounting concern among US troops about the firepower of this astonishing gun.

The site is located in Church Bay, Rathlin Island, Northern Ireland, at latitude 55º 17.1500′ N, longitude 06° 12.4036′ W (WGS 84). The work was undertaken as part of the Contract for Archaeological Services in Relation to the Protection of Wrecks Act (1973). Work was conducted in accordance with a brief that required WA to locate archaeological material, provide an accurate location for the wreck, determine the extent of the seabed remains, identify and characterise the main elements of the site and assess the remains against the non-statutory criteria for designation. Diving operations took place between 28th July and 5th August 2006. In addition to the diver assessment a limited desk-based assessment has been undertaken in order to assist with the interpretation and reporting of the wreck.

  • Examined: Archaeological Investigations of the Wrecks of HMS Indefatigable and SMS V4
    The Opening and Closing Sequences of the Battle of Jutland 1916 Re- examined: archaeological investigations of the wrecks of HMS Indefatigable and SMS V4 Innes McCartney Bournemouth University, Department of Archaeology, Anthropology and Forensic Science, Fern Barrow, Talbot Campus, Poole, Dorset BH12 5BB, UK This paper presents the findings from surveys carried out in 2016 of two wrecks sunk during the Battle of Jutland. The remains of HMS Indefatigable had previously only been partially understood. SMS V4, was found and surveyed for the first time. They represent the first and last ships sunk and allow the timings of the opening and closing of the battle to be established. In the case of HMS Indefatigable, the discovery that the ship broke in two, seemingly unnoticed, substantially revises the narrative of the opening minutes of the battle. Key words: nautical archaeology, battlefield archaeology, conflict archaeology, Battle of Jutland, World War One, Royal Navy. On 31 May 1916, the two most powerful battle-fleets in the world clashed off the coast of Denmark, in what in Britain has become known as the Battle of Jutland. In reality the battle was more of a skirmish from which the German High Seas Fleet, having accidentally run into the British Grand Fleet, was able to extricate itself and escape to base, leaving the British in control of the battlefield. However, in the 16 hours during which this drama played out, 25 ships were sunk, claiming more than 8500 lives. The Grand Fleet suffered 14 of the ships sunk and around 6000 of the lost sailors. More than 5000 of the British dead were lost on five ships that exploded, killing nearly every sailor aboard the ships.

  • It's Time for Another Analysis Video, This Time on Purported Concept Art For
    It’s time for another analysis video, this time on purported concept art for Battlefield 1. Basically, I’m going to look at these images that leaked on imgur and offer insight on what I noticed, which hopefully falls under Fair Use as criticism. Also keep in mind, this is concept art, and things shown here don’t always make it into the game. I’m also only looking at the concept art we haven’t seen before. That said, let’s get started. What we’re looking at here is a Rolls Royce armored car, used by British forces . Armed with a .303 Vickers machine gun, these vehicles were used in the middle east, which is where this shot appears to be. T.E. Lawrence used a squadron of them against Turkish forces. This German airplane is probably a Halberstadt biplane. In this image of what is presumably a French Chateau, German Fokker Dr.I Triplanes appear to be attacking a Entente soldier on the ground, who is manning a QF 1-Pounder anti-aircraft gun. If you’re wondering why it looks like a Maxim machine gun, it’s because it basically is – except it fires much larger 1 lb rounds. These weren’t particularly mobile, so expect to see them as emplacements in Battlefield 1. I’m not going to hazard a guess on these trucks because I don’t have enough to go on, but based on the image, there’s a good chance we’ll see some chase gameplay in Battlefield 1. This shot appears very Mediterranean, based on the architecture.
