Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. From the first recorded mention of British ships protecting of fishing vessels in the late fourteenth century through to recent controversies over the change in emphasis to border patrols and overseas deployments, the story of the Royal Navy's 'Cinderella Fleet' involves many dramatic incide…nts; until now, however, there has never been a book dedicated to the subject. Naval historian Jon Wise's new work will rectify this omission. Historically there have been two main reasons why protecting fishing vessels was so important: first, fish have always constituted an essential part of the nation's diet while, secondly, fishermen have been an important source of skilled personnel for the Royal Navy itself. It is claimed that the Fishery Protection Squadron (FPS) is the oldest in the fleet, pre-dating the formal creation of the Navy itself in the early part of the sixteenth century, yet it still remains comparatively little-known. The Squadron's most famous operations were the 'Cod Wars' of 195876, but for six centuries it has been engaged in the many important tasks of protection and policing of fishing fleets, though more recently it has turned its attention to patrolling oil and gas fields, overseeing quotas and sustainability, and policing the ongoing disagreements over who can fish where and when. The author covers subjects as diverse as the battles with the Dutch for dominance in the North Sea, the protection of fishing on the eastern seaboard of America, and the role of the Squadron in the two World Wars. Containing many first-hand accounts, this thought-provoking narrative will be of particular interest to all those RN personnel who have served in the Squadron, and is set to become the definitive account of this vital but often unsung component of Britain's naval forces, and its impact on national life. AUTHOR: Jon Wise completed an MA in Maritime History at the University of Greenwich in 2007 and completed his PhD in Naval History at the University of Exeter in 2012. He has written a number of books on twentieth-century British naval history, including The Royal Fleet Auxiliary in Focus, Vickers Barrow-built Warships, and The Royal Navy in South America, 1920-1970, based on his doctorate, as well as articles and book reviews in Warship World and Ships Monthly. He has been a regular contributor to the highly-respected annual, Warship. He has also co-authored a three-volume bibliographic guide to the novelist Graham Greene. Jon lives in Herefordshire with his wife. 20 b/w illustrations The first full history of the Royal Navy's longest-running commitment. Will be of particular interest to former personnel, as well as to naval historians. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condición: New. Illustrated. This book demonstrates the importance of the presence of the Royal Navy in South America. Historically there have been no treaty obligations and few strategic considerations in the region, yet it is frequently referred to as forming part of Britain's 'unofficial empire'. The role of the Na…vy in supporting foreign relations and promoting commerce is examined during a period of the twentieth century which is often associated with the decline of the British Empire.The Role of the Royal Navy in South America, 1920-1970 shows how the Royal Navy reacted to changing circumstances during the post-war decades by adopting a more pro-active attitude towards the imperative of supporting naval exports. It provides a scholarly investigation of this important peacetime role for the service and offers the first book-length study of the Navy's involvement in the region during this period.
