Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Baltic Project was never carried out, but many of the ships for it were built, including three light cruisers named Furious, Courageous, and Glorious. Their names were reversed commas. #2 The ships had eighteen 4-inch BLIX guns in six Mark I triple mountings, twelve on each broadside, two 3-inch high-angle guns, four 3-pounder Hotchkiss saluting guns, five Maxim guns, and two submerged torpedo tubes. #3 In October, 1917, the British fleet searched for the German ships that carried out the raid on the Mary Rose Convoy. The minesweepers had been forced to sweep further and further until they were operating 150 miles from their bases. #4 The British Admiralty had accurate and timely intelligence on much of this activity. On 17 November, an ambitious sortie was planned involving a large force: the 1st Cruiser Squadron, of Courageous and Glorious, with four escorting destroyers.
