The modern submarine changed the equation of naval warfare during the Great War, and navies had developed few tactics and weapons to counter them. In the opening months of the war the U-boats of the imperial German navy demonstrated that they were a real threat to the Royal Navy. On August 9, the SM U-15 encountered the cruiser HMS Birmingham, which used the most reliable method at the time to destroy a submarine. The tactic of ramming U-boats during the great war deserves to be remembered.

404 years ago, on December 4, 1619 forty colonists arrived on the Good Ship Margaret at the site of a Virginia Company land grant along the James river.

On December 7, 1941 USS Maryland was moored inboard of USS Oklahoma. The ship’s guns responded to the attack almost immediately. From their vantage point, the men witnessed the attacks that critically damaged Maryland’s sisters along battleship row, and faced attacks so fierce that the Japanese reported her sunk. They were wrong, and the “fighting Mary” would come back to haunt the empire of the rising sun, and feel the fury of the dreaded Kamikazes.
