The Admiralty Regrets: British Warship Losses of the 20th CenturySutton, 1999 - Broj stranica: 275 The Admiralty regrets... is the phrase used in countless official communiques to announce the loss of one of HM ships. Over 800 British warships have been lost in the 20th century in peace and in war. The circumstances of each loss vary enormously; some involve desperate heroism in battle while others are almost farcical and show something of the black humour which attends such occasions. |
