battleship: Encyclopedia II - Convoy - Naval convoys

Convoy - Age of Sail. By the French Revolutionary Wars of the late 18th century, effective naval convoy tactics had been developed to ward off pirates and privateers. Some convoys contained several hundred merchant ships. When merchant ships sailed independently, a privateer could cruise a shipping lane and capture ships as they passed. Ships sailing in convoy presented a much smaller target: a convoy was no more likely to be found than a single ship. Even if the privateer found a convoy and the wind was f ...

battleship: Encyclopedia - Broadside

A broadside is the side of a ship; the battery of cannon on one side of a warship; or their simultaneous (or near simultaneous) fire in naval warfare. Additionally, the term broadside is a measurement of a vessels maximum simultaneous firepower that can be delivered upon a single target, due to the fact that this concentration is usually obtained by firing a broadside. This is calculated by multiplying the shell weight of the ship's main armament shells times the number of barrels that can be brought to bear. In cases where som

If one car breaks down, others are available to help with repairs, and if it cannot be repaired, the people can be accommodated in the other cars. Convoy - Naval convoys. Convoy - Age of Sail.

battleship: Encyclopedia - Battle of Okinawa

The Battle of Okinawa, fought on the island of Okinawa in the Ryukyu Islands (south of the four big islands of Japan), was the largest amphibious assault during the Pacific campaign of World War II.

The Americans were planning Operation Downfall, the invasion of the main islands of Japan, which never happened, due to the Japanese surrender after the American use of the atomic bomb in August 1945, first in Hiroshima, and a second time ...

battleship: Encyclopedia - Aircraft carrier

An aircraft carrier is a warship whose main role is to deploy and recover aircraft—in effect acting as a sea-going airbase. Aircraft carriers thus allow a naval force to project air power great distances without having to depend on local bases for land-based aircraft. Modern navies, who operate such ships, treat aircraft carriers as the centerpiece of the fleet, a role previously played by the battleship. The change, part of the growth of air power as a significant part of warfare, took place during World War II. Unescorted carriers ...
