Q&A: Every history of the loss of HMS Glorious refers to the court martial the ship's captain was eager to attend, but I haven't been able to find anything on the results of the trial. Can you help here? Also, there is an decidedly different perspective on the loss - search "HMS Glorious – The cover up of Churchill’s Operation Paul". It mght explain some of the odd events surrounding the sinking. What is your opinion?

Q&A: What are the top three countries (excluding the U.S.A.) that you would like to visit as part of your ongoing naval research? And what, in each of said countries might you be researching?

Pin badges yes! Have you considered challenge coins?

Your very last segment omits what I believe is the "True" analysis... IT WAS an "Operational Victory:" for France.. A strategic victory for the British in that subsequently they were still able to maintain "Sea Control" off the French coast. What you have described is a tactical "split"; the convoy did get thru.. That's a French win at the operational level.. But ultimately a French Strategic "Defeat"... As it could NOT be duplicated.

2023-04-29 14:19:17 Q&A: In his book on the invasion of Saipan, Carl Hoffman mentions that the fast battleships (who were on the scene first) did a poor job of shore bombardment, and the only real effective battleship work was done by the old Standards who didn't arrive until the day before the invasion and had a limited amount of time. He attributes this in large part to specialized training: the modern ships had trained for fleet actions and the older ships had trained for shore bombardment. Can you give some information on this training, how and where it took place, etc? I am intrigued by the idea of a huge group of old battleships just blasting the hell out of some hapless target island for days on end.

2023-02-08 16:31:36 Q&A: After being both having our navy stolen and capitol bombarded during the napoleonic wars (i am a dane if you have not guessed it) there was continual low intensity warfare in the danish waters. How much of the Royal Navy's resources were tied up in those waters (ships and garrisons for captured isles and so on)?
