Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - ''A Fleet In Being: Notes Of Two Trips With The Channel Squadron'' is a non-fiction book written by Rudyard Kipling. The book is a collection of Kipling's observations and experiences during two trips he took with the Channel Squadron of the Royal Navy in 1896 and 1898. The Channel Squadron was a fleet of warships stationed in the English Channel, responsible for protecting Britain's coastlines. The book is divided into two parts, each covering one of Kipling's trips. In the first part, Kipling describes his journey on board the HMS Crescent, a cruiser, as it patrols the English Channel. He provides vivid descriptions of the ship's crew, the daily routines, and the various ports they visit. Kipling also writes about the naval strategy and technology of the time, including the use of torpedoes and the development of wireless communication.In the second part, Kipling joins the Channel Squadron on board the HMS Victorious, a battleship, as it participates in a naval exercise in the Atlantic Ocean. Kipling describes the maneuvers and tactics used by the fleet, as well as the challenges of operating a battleship at sea. He also writes about the camaraderie among the sailors and the role of the Royal Navy in maintaining Britain's global power.Throughout the book, Kipling's writing is characterized by his trademark wit and humor. He provides an insightful and entertaining glimpse into life on board a Royal Navy ship during the late 19th century. ''A Fleet In Being'' is a valuable historical document and an engaging read for anyone interested in naval history, military strategy, or the works of Rudyard Kipling.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
