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 click here to go to the home page.
