The Mighty Hood: The Life & Death of the Royal Navy’s Proudest Ship (Fortunes of War) (Paperback)
The life and death of the Royal Navy’s proudest ship HMS Hood was commissioned in 1920 and was described as the greatest and most graceful ship of her time. She was the last of the ‘Leviathans’ – those mighty ships, whose movement upon the high seas had assured the supremacy of Britain’s Royal Navy and determined policy since the last quarter of the 19th Century. During the twenties and thirties she had been the flag ship of a number of admirals and could be found ‘flying-the-flag’ for Britain in the far-flung regions of the world – from the North Sea to the Mediterranean, from South America and the West Indies to Africa and the Indian subcontinent. In early 1939 HMS Hood was refitted and rearmed prior to her joining the Home Fleet. As one of the British ships engaged in the hunt for the German battleship Bismarck and the Prinz Eugen, northwest of Iceland in May 1941, she was accompanied by HMS Suffolk and HMS Norfolk.

Cruising for Cowards: Strategies, Boats and Equipment Preferred by Experienced Cruisers (Paperback)
Review
Are you intimidated by the thought of embracing long-distance cruising as a way of life? Anyone headed for distant horizons would benefit from picking the brains of circumnavigators. Liza and Andy Copeland provide you with theirs. CRUISING FOR COWARDS is not an encyclopedia of esoteric engineering data, equipment dissertations, and systems analysis. It is, instead, a highly readable guide to help long-distance cruisers equip and prepare their boats and then deal with everything from cockroaches to bureaucratic paperwork while en route. There are many courses to the cruising life, but Liza and Andy's enthusiasm and tactics, illustrated by lively accounts of their family's experiences and amusing cartoons, charts the course that led their family and many others successfully around the globe. Anyone who follows in their wake is unlikely to be disappointed. -- Steve Callahan, Associate Editor, 'Cruising World' Magazine, Author of 'Adrift'For those contemplating long (BUY @@ Amazon.com)
