Описание: This is the story of Australian Yacht EDNBAL sailing and admiring the Marvels of the World. The cruising life style gave the Authors a great opportunity to meet many and get to know people of the World belonging to various societies and coming from all walks of life. The Authors were eager to learn about countries travelled, learn about humans' history in various parts of the world, and they often experienced the nature and wilderness surrounding the vast expense of Oceans. The cruising adventures described in this book are collected from the stories told by a number of cruisers, they include the best and the worst experiences in cruising seen, heard of, listened to, and definitively savoured by the Authors in the last ten years. The famous World traveller Marco Polo described his extensive travels in a similar exact, accurate but somewhat unbelievable description in his "Marvels of the World". Ednbal's Marvels of the World is indeed a TRUE Cruiser Story and will hopefully gain respect and appreciation easier than Marco's "Wishing in my secret thoughts that the things I had seen and heard should be made public for the benefit of those who could not see them with their own eyes." Marco Polo

Описание: The light cruiser was a natural development of the sailing frigate - a fast multi-purpose warship that could patrol the sea lanes, protect convoys and scout for enemy battle fleets. While the battleships and carriers grabbed the headlines, these warships quietly got on with the job of securing control of the seas. This book deals with these ships.

Описание: At the outbreak of World War II the German Kriegsmarine still had a relatively small U-boat arm. To reach Britain's convoy routes in the North Atlantic, these boats had to pass around the top of the British Isles - a long and dangerous voyage to their "hunting grounds". Germany's larger surface warships were much better suited to this kind of long-range operation.
So, during late 1939 the armoured cruiser Deutschland, and later the battlecruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were used as commerce raiders, to strike at Allied convoys in the North Atlantic. These sorties met with mixed results, but for Germany's naval high command they showed that this kind of operation had potential. Then, the fall of France, Denmark and Norway in early 1940 dramatically altered the strategic situation.
The Atlantic was now far easier to reach, and to escape from. During 1940, further moderately successful sorties were made by the cruisers Admiral Scheer and Admiral Hipper. By the end of the year, with British mercantile losses mounting to surface raiders and U-Boats, plans were developed for a much larger raid, first using both cruisers, and then the two battlecruisers.
The climax of this was Operation Berlin, the Kriegsmarine's largest and most wide-ranging North Atlantic sortie so far. Scharnhorst and Gneisenau remained at sea for two months, destroying 22 Allied merchant ships, and severely disrupting Britain's lifeline convoys. So, when the operation ended, the German commander, Admiral Lutjens was ordered to repeat his success - this time with the brand new battleship Bismarck.
The rest, as they say, is history. These earlier Atlantic raids demonstrated that German surface ships could be highly effective commerce raiders. For those willing to see though, they also demonstrated just how risky this strategy could be.
Covering a fascinating and detailed analysis of the Kriegsmarine's Atlantic raids between 1939 and 1941, this book will appeal to readers interested in World War II and in particular in Germany's naval operations.
