The Royal Navy Day by Day by Rea Shrubb

The Royal Navy Day by Day is a fascinating record of British naval heritage. It is preserved here as a diary of daily events - not just of great battles, but of all that has built the Royal Navy's 700-year-old tradition. While so many books of naval history concentrate on the big events, The Royal Navy Day by Day examines also the conditions that sailors, Royal Marines and naval aircrew, as well as Army and RAF forces involved in sea and amphibious operations, have experienced in peacetime as well as war. First published in 1979, the original book needed to be brought up to date and to reflect the Royal Navy's significant involvement in the Falklands and the First Gulf War. This led to a substantial updating and revision of the text and photographs in the Second Edition published in 1992. With the Royal Navy's heavy involvement in peacekeeping and offensive actions worldwide since 1992, a third edition has become necessary. This Third Edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to include the principal operational and administrative developments in the Royal Navy since 1992. It has been completely re-illustrated.
