註釋In Plain Yarns from the Fleet, Charles Owen looks at the spirit of the Royal Navy in its twentieth-century heyday, from 1900 and on through two momentous world wars to 1945, when to have played a part in events could have been a hugely stirring experience. What was the Navy doing in those days, how did its people function, and what led to the high esteem and affection in which they were held? And when the great test came in 1939, was the Navy up to it? With the help of numerous anecdotes, eyewitness accounts and reminiscences, archive material and published works, the author paints a broad and vivid canvas of the Royal Navy in this challenging era.
