World War II was extraordinarily War complex II and dynamic. The Atlantic and Pacific Theaters were radically different from one another, and as the war progressed, the way the war was fought and the tools used to fight the war continuously evolved. Early on, Winston Churchill secured from President Roosevelt an agreement that the Allies would put their main effort into defeating Germany first, and then they would together turn their attention to the Pacific. This “Europe First” policy was not an easy one for Roosevelt to sell to the military, considering it was the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor which had forced America into the war. It was especially difficult for the United States Navy to deal with this policy. The US Navy considered the Pacific to be their war and, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, this is easy to understand.

The Scylla Project and SWRDA’s Targetary 33 Framework 8. Overview of Costs and Benefits of the Project 35 References 37 2 Executive Summary The aim of this study is to advise the South West Regional Development Agency (SWRDA) as to whether the economic and social benefits of placing HMS Scylla on the seabed in Whitsand Bay are sufficient to warrant their financial support for the project as proposed by ARC. The key points to emerge from the report are: The ARC Budget Proposals The costs of financing the project are likely to exceed the original budget projection due to an increase in the cost of purchasing HMS Scylla and other additional costs. The costs of several key elements of the project remain to be finalised. These include the purchase price, the cost of insurance and mooring costs. The original budget contains an assumption that certain services are provided freely or undertaken by voluntary labour. However, it is possible that some of these services will need to be purchased on the market. Until all outstanding issues are resolved, an upper limit of expenditure on the project is impossible to confirm.

The Loss of the German Submarine Early Theories The most effective and successful branch of the German By John Chatterton, Richie Kohler, and John Yurga Navy in World War II was the U-boat arm. Hitler feared he would lose in a direct confrontation with the Royal Navy, so the German surface fleet largely sat idle at anchor. Meanwhile, the U-boats and their all- volunteer crews were out at sea, hunting down enemy vessels. They sank the merchant vessels delivering the Allies’ much-needed materials of war, and even were able to achieve some success against much larger enemy warships.

Efforts by the community of Virtual Heritage researchers to reconstruct sites considered worthy of preservation span from the historical “built environment”, including the Pyramids at Ghiza and Virtual Reality Notre Dame, to natural heritage sites such as Australia’s Great Barrier Reef and the Virtual Everglades at Florida. Other important efforts to conserve artefacts and educate visitors include Virtual Stonehenge, Pompeii and the Caves of Lascaux. Entire villages, cities and even caves have been constructed as part of virtual conservation efforts. These digital reconstructions have, to date, contributed significant awareness and interest among the general public, providing educational benefits to schoolchildren and new research opportunities to archaeologists and conservationists, to mention but two groups of beneficiaries.
