- This is an instructional film made for Royal Air Force aircrew operating as part of Coastal Command and other roles involving the marine theatres. It displays footage and diagrams for general identification purposes of Royal Navy ship types by size and function.
Part 1. "A Brief Survey of Her Majesty's Navy by Type Only." after stressing the importance of sea power and the cooperation between the Navy and the RAF, illustrative footage of the types of ships in the fleet are shown: battleships, battlecruisers, heavy and light cruisers, destroyers, sloops, minesweepers and aircraft carriers (HMS Illustrious returning after the battle of Taranto). Auxiliaries (depot repair ships) and submarines are also featured.
Part 2. Key features which aid recognition of British battleships, battlecruisers and aircraft carriers are demonstrated using diagrams, models and footage of ships including HMS Ark Royal, HMS King George V, HMS Eagle and HMS Warspite (plus footage of the latter bombarding Tobruk).
Part 3. Descriptions of heavy and light cruisers, destroyers, sloops, depot and repair ships accompanied by footage of various vessels at sea.

I wonder what works better, make your crews recognize your own ships and attack anything else, or make them recognize the enemy's ships, and don't attack anything else. Considering the smaller size and less ship classes of the Kriegsmarine that might be easier to memorize.
I am sure the Sheffield would have liked all the FAA to have seen this film for starters.
FAA Swordfish could not recognise Sheffield which had been sailing alongside Ark Royal for several months!
You seem to be not very accustomed to north altlantic weather and it’s poor visibility.
Quite interesting to see the old names given to 2 of the KGVs along with no mention of HMS Hermes, and refering to the Hawkins-class as a light cruiser!
Hermes was an escort carrier, even at this stage of the war. It's official designation was "experimental carrier".
Jesus, King George the V aint messing around. Never knew you could have 4 guns in one turret.
Freeboardless RN capital ships, must have been a wet hell for accomodation. And for using the A-turret during rough seas…
The 2 KGVs still under construction are still named Jellicoe and Beatty (why did they change the names anyway?). When did the name change occur?
I have never heard a reason. I would not be surprised if Churchill was responsible, after his relationship with both men during WW1.
I have heard that those two were considered to be too recent in history.
the names chosen, were 2 of the four that
were to be used on the Admiral class battlecruisers, for what that is worth.
I wouldn't rule out @Peorhum 's hypothesis though, either.
@@kidmohair8151 Yeah, I considered that possibility too.
@Kid Mohair I think Dr. Clarke mentioned that in one of his videos about KGV Class or "What goes into naming a ship"
crikey.
did they give the narrator a few whiskeys before recording?
🤣🤣🤪 may be just the rum ration
Ah... that's the problem.
(Goes off and drinks half a bottle...)
Dutch courage.
How come I wanna make a comment on this video and the Google microphone can't get 10 words straight with a omega mistake how. Come? I rest my case case. That. Is not me editing anything and I think Canadian? English. Nothing more to be said you think we should get better quality. For all the advertising we have to put up with
How come the goggle microphone makes so many mistakes .After 3 years of hearing my voice it still doesn't ,know my voice or get easy comments correct,I think we deserve better?
