Year: 2024 Language: English Author: Robert J. Moore, John A. Rodgaard Publisher: Holywell House Publishing Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 848 Description: “A Hard-Fought Ship” does for small surface combatants what “Das Boot” did for submarines: a daily recording life at sea under peace, hostilities and war conditions. It covers calm waters and mountainous seas, boring days of watches and the terrible hours when violence comes a calling. Within the Royal Navy seafaring story telling tradition, this book is to be placed on the library shelf right next to “Master and Commander, and to the left of “The Cruel Sea.” Anyone who has served on ‘small boys’ at one time or another, can find within the life story of HMS Venomous the vintage age of the ship you served. Some were lucky (or not so lucky) to be with new construction, its fresh paint, and a first cruise. Others, as in my case, found them later in life when they become ‘old girls”, cranky in engineering, modernized with new weapons, and attended to by the repair facilities down at Pier Zulu. HMS Venomous takes us for a full sail in her life cycle of a ship from keel laying to the breaker years.
