In January 1937, when the keel for a new Royal Navy battleship was laid, a new vessel came into existence which with its concentration of 356 mm heavy artilleryin quadruple turrets took English shipbuilding in a totally new direction. In 1938, the ship was launched and named the King George V and in December 1940 she went into service as the first of five sister ships, to be followed in 1941 by the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York and in 1942 by the Anson and the Howe. In the following war years these ships formed the core of the battle fleet and were used in all theatres of war. The King George V had her baptism of fire duringthe pursuit and ultimate sinking of the Bismarck. She then served in the North Sea and the Mediterranean before going back to the shipyard in 1944. By the end of the war she had undertaken missions in the Pacific, often together with the US Navy. In 1958 the King George V was broken up.

The armoured warship Admiral Graf Spee went into service on 6th January 1936, as the new flagship of the German navy. On 13th December 1939, at the mouth of the River Plate, the Graf Spee ran into a British cruiser squadron. The Graf Spee was able to break out of the battle that followed to her own advantage, but had to make a run for the neutral harbour of Montevideo in order to repair the damage. On 17th December, after makeshift repairs, Captain Langsdorff had to leave the harbour. He subsequently scuttled his own ship. Public attention was recently focussed on the wreck of the Admiral Graf Spee again, when it became known that Uruguayan contractors wished to raise a major part of the ship.

The U-Boot type VII-C is the best known German submarine from World War II. It was built in large numbers and upgraded several times. This type represents the ultimate high point of the submarine era. Equipped with four bow and one stern torpedo the VII-C was a fearsome weapon. The task assigned to the German submarines was trade warfare. They were designed to disrupt England's supply lines and innumerable sunken ships bear witness to that. The "Grey Wolves" of the Atlantic made war on escort convoys and hunted in packs. Accustomed to success, however, the period from 1943 was devastating for the German submarines: the hunters became the hunted. New search equipment tracked the German submarines mercilessly and turned them into steel coffins for innumerable German submarine crews. The type VII-C submarine illustrates the rise and fall of German submarine warfare.

After the US Pacific fleet had been seriously weakened at Pearl Harbor, at the beginning of the war in the Pacific much of the responsibility in the battle against the Japanese expeditionary forces rested on the shoulders of the American submariners. The submarines of the Gato Class were large fleet submarines that had been specially developed for use in the wide expanses of the Pacific Ocean. Due to their size and equipment they could remain in non-stop service for 75 days. Between 1940 and 1944, 77 Gatos were build at four different shipyards. Together with the Balao and the Trench Class they formed the backbone of the US submarine fleet. Most of these subs went to the Pacific, but a few were also used in the Atlantic. These submarines were extremely successful. Not only did they sink a large number of irreplaceable freighters and tankers, but they also decimated the Imperial naval fleet. The most grievous losses were the aircraft carriers Shokaku, Taiyo, Unyo and Taiho. Developed for use in the expanses of the Pacific, the Gato was much larger than for example the German type VII submarine. It had a length of 95 m, a beam of 8.20 m and a draught of 4.60 m. Its displacement was 1825 tons surfaced and 2410 tons dived. The diesel engine gave it a speed of 20.75 knots on the surface.

Based on the proven design principles of the 209 Class of submarines, plus some of the innovative features of the 212A class, HDW developed the 214 Class. It was eminently suitable for a broad spectrum of applications, both in shallow and deep water areas. Due to its flexible combination of sensors and weapons and the fuel cell power plant that is independent of external air, the 214 Class is predestined for missions against enemy submarines and surface vessels, reconnaissance and surveillance, support for operational units and special missions. The fuel cell power plant enables the submarine to remain under water for much longer. This new type of engine and the reduction in the overall signatures ensure that the 214 Class vessels are extremely difficult to locate. At present there are seven 214 Class units under construction: four for the Greek Navy (built by the Thyssen Krupp Marine Systems Werften HDW in Kiel and the Hellenic Shipyards in Greece) and three for the Navy of South Korea (Shipyard: Hyundai Heavy Industries in Korea).

Type description Motor Torpedo Boat (MTB)
Speed 40 kn

The small and manoeuvrable British torpedo boats of this class proved highly successful weapns of attack in the Mediterranean theatre of operations during World War Two. Under cover of night and with radar support, the wooden boats moved i formation to attack enemy coastal vessels with their torpedos. After the attack the boats veered off quickly to escape the fire of enemy escort vessels and to watch the success of their attack. In this way the Allies kept their supply routes open especially in the Mediterranean. The advantages of manoeuvrability and speed far outweighed in the limitations regardin range and light construction. Powered by three 4.050 PS Packard engines, the boats had a maximum speed of 40 knots (72 km/h).

The gigantic USS Saratoga was one of the US Navy's first aircraft carriers specially designed for jet aircraft and featuring an angled flight deck. Commissioned in 1956, she has now been in service with the US Navy for almost forty years. As a floating airfield the Saratoga embodies the power and flexibility of the UNited States Navy and has been deployed in many war theatres. Over the years she has undergone several modernisation and upgrading programmes in respect of her defence, early-warning and ship's systems. In October 1980 the Saratoga went into dry dock to undergo an extensive service life extension or SLEP programm whren she received new radar and communication systems, self-inflating rescue islands, new aircraft take-off systems and 3 Phalanx defence systems, as well as Sea Sparrow anti-aircraft guided missiles. Her comprehensive aircraft complement comprises 90 machines of the F-14, F/A-18, A-6 and S-3A Viking types. She carries a crew of 2.645. Gross tonnage: 78.200t; power: 280.000 ship; max.speed: 34 knots.

The "United States" was one of the three great 44 gun frigates that were ordered by Congress towards the end of the eighteenth century. She was launched in May 1797 and was considerably heavier then her sister ship the "Constitution". This imposing man-o'-war had excellent sailing characteristics and saw hard service with the US Navy. During the 1812 war she captured the British frigate "Macedonian". Later in her naval career she was rebuilt and refitted many times. In the confusion of the American Civil War the "United States" was sunk by Union seamen in Norfolk during the surrender of Norfolk harbour. She was finally broken up in 1866.

The 23rd. August 1958 saw the launch of the "Gorch Fock", the last of a series of four sister ships. Built at the Blohm&Voss yard in Hamburg, it was named after the poet and author Johann Kinau who had become known under the pen name of "Gorch Fock". Since its launch the "Gorch Fock" has served as sailing vessels of the Federal German Navy for the training of officers and N.C.O.s.

Most sailing ships achieved fame in seafaring history through sea battles, but some gained it through exploration. On 27th December 1831, H.M.S. Beagle, a brig built in 1817, sailed from Devenport, England on a five year expedition round the globe. At the invitation of the Captain and naturalist Robert Fitzroy, the young natural scientist Charles Darwin was also on board. The observations made by him during the voyage on the evolution of life and the origin of species formed the basis of the Darwin Theory, which made him one of the most important scientists of all time. This historic voyage went via Brazil, Chile, the Galapagos Islands, Tahiti, New Zealand and the Cape of Good Hope and back to England, where they arrived on 2.10.1836. Many species were brought back with them as specimens of their revolutionary findings.
