Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The story of the British Eastern Fleet, which operated in the Indian Ocean against Japan, has rarely been told. Although it was the largest fleet deployed by the Royal Navy prior to 1945 and played a vital part in the theatre it was sent to protect, it has no place in the popular consciousness of the naval history of the Second World War. So Charles Stephenson's deeply researched and absorbing narrative gives this forgotten fleet the recognition it deserves. British pre-war naval planning for the Far East is part of the story, as is the disastrous loss of the battleship Prince of Wales and battlecruiser Repulse in 1941, but the body of the book focuses on the new fleet, commanded by Admiral Sir James Somerville, and its operations against the Japanese navy and aircraft as well as Japanese and German submarines. Later in the war, once the fleet had been reinforced with an American aircraft carrier, it was strong enough to take more aggressive actions against the Japanese, and these are described in vivid detail. Charles Stephenson's authoritative study should appeal to readers who have a special interest in the war with Japan, in naval history more generally and Royal Navy in particular. AUTHOR: Charles Stephenson is an established author on naval and siege warfare and the history of fortifications, with the following books in print: The Fortifications of Malta 1530-1945, Zeppelins: German Airships 1900-40, The Channel Islands 1941-45: Hitler's Impregnable Fortress, The Admiral's Secret Weapon: Lord Dundonald and the Origins of Chemical Warfare, Germany's Asia-Pacific Empire: Colonialism and Naval Policy, 1885-1914 and The Siege of Tsingtau: The German-Japanese War 1914. He was Consultant Editor and a contributor to Castles: A History of Fortified Structures: Ancient, Medieval & Modern. He is also the creator of the four books that (thus far) constitute the Samson Plews Collection. Detailed history of the operations of the Royal Navy's Eastern Fleet in the Indian Ocean during the Second World War.

Softback 336 page with 30 B&W illustrations The story of the British Eastern Fleet, which operated in the Indian Ocean against Japan, has rarely been told. Although it was the largest fleet deployed by the Royal Navy prior to 1945 and played a vital part in the theatre it was sent to protect, it has no place in the popular consciousness of the naval history of the Second World War. So Charles Stephensonâs deeply researched and absorbing narrative gives this forgotten fleet the recognition it deserves.British pre-war naval planning for the Far East is part of the story, as is the disastrous loss of the battleship Prince of Wales and battlecruiser Repulse in 1941, but the body of the book focuses on the new fleet, commanded by Admiral Sir James Somerville, and its operations against the Japanese navy and aircraft as well as Japanese and German submarines. Later in the war, once the fleet had been reinforced with an American aircraft carrier, it was strong enough to take more aggressive actions against the Japanese, and these are described in vivid detail.The sub title reflects the sad fact that whilst the Eastern Fleet was the largest fleet deployed by the Royal Navy but before 1945 it was especially vulnerable to attacks from Japanese aircraft and submarines until reinforced with an American aircraft carrier. Consequently, for reasons of survival during these years, it was necessary for the Fleet to evade the enemy rather than take more aggressive action. Nº de ref. del artículo: 31459
