This is the first
entry in this new page, I decided to add a news page after
making several changes to the site and thought that you, the
visitor, may like to be kept informed about what has changed,
been added or taken away.
There are now 22
ship histories that are complete (some are more comprehensive
than others), I have been attempting to work through them
alphabetically and have completed the 'B's. My university
studies have prevented me from progressing much further, but
this will be done with by mid October and I will tackle Campania
next. Some histories have taken president over the alphabetical
plan - namely Nabob and Puncher in recent months working in
collaboration with the Canadian aviation enthusiast Patrick
Martin who is researching the two Canadian manned CVEs for an
upcoming book.
Recent changes:
Because a large
number of photographs to be found on this site are exclusive to
the Royal Navy Escort Carriers web site protecting the copyright
of their owners has become a priority: although 'no right click'
was present from the beginning it has been found that there are
several other ways in which to save content onto a PC hard
drive, further action has therefore been taken in an
attempt to prevent the downloading of images and text from the
site. One known side-effect concerns the cut/copy & paste
functionality - while viewing a page from this site you may find
the the ability to cut/copy & paste is DISABLED IN WINDOWS AS
WELL AS WITHIN YOUR BROWSER. Closing the browser (hopefully when
you've finished looking around the site) will restore this
function.
Upcoming
changes:
It is planned to
add the increase/decrease font size functionality to these pages
later this year. The system has been available on t the Royal
Navy Research Archive pages for some time and appears to be
working correctly. If you haven't tried this feature yet
