The Army's Navy

British Military Vessels and their history since Henry VIII

Habesch, D: 2001 UK, hardcover with dust jacket, 240 pages, illustrated. A comprehensive history of the British Army’s often-overlooked fleet of ships and maritime forces, tracing their evolution from Henry VIII’s artillery barges through the Submarine Mining Service, both World Wars, and postwar operations. The book highlights the unique roles these vessels played, including harbor defense with mines and torpedoes and the hazardous postwar disposal of surplus ammunition at sea, illustrating a rich naval tradition distinct from the Royal Navy.
