The pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee attends the Coronation of George VI in 1937. The Royal Navy's battlecruiser HMS Hood is in the background, while one of the five Revenge Class battleships present is anchored between them. Hood and Graf Spee would meet their fates early in the Second World War; the German ship by her own crew in 1939, and Hood in May of 1941 during battle with Bismarck and Prinz Eugen. Graff Spee along with her Kriegsmarine sisters, Deutschland and Admiral Scheer, were the first major threat to the Allies at sea, as they hunted down and sank merchant shipping during the so called 'phoney war'. The ship's namesake, Vice Admiral Maximilian von Spee, was commander of the Imperial German Navy's East Asia Squadron that fought in the First World War battles of Coronel, and the Falkland Islands. He was born June 22 1861, and died December 8 1914 aboard SMS Scharnhorst which was sunk at the Falklands battle. The pocket battleship bearing his name was laid down at the Reichmarinewerft Shipyard in Wilhelmshaven, and completed in January of 1936. She displaced over 10,000 tons, and carried a main armament of 11" guns. The Deutschlands relied on their speed to enter or leave battle, but Graf Spee's speed failed her in the end, when cornered at Montevideo Harbour in Uruguay by Royal Navy cruisers, she was scuttled on December 17 1939 by her crew rather than fight or surrender. They are my favourite Second World War ships. There's just something about their design that appeals to me. #halifaxauthor #halifax #royalnavy #kriegsmarine #rcn #royalcanadiannavy #germannavy #graffspee #secondworldwar #battleship #worldwarii #ww2 #admiralgrafspee #pocketbattleship #germany #writer #amwriting #author #daniellittle #hmshood

Operation Neptune — Part VI — While practice operations and material build-up were both in full swing, a massive mining effort was underway in the English Channel, intended to trap Kriegsmarine vessels in their ports and prevent any sortie against invasion forces. Though minelaying had been a part of naval operations against Germany for most of the war, efforts were substantially increased beginning 17 April 1944; with the assistance of aircraft, 6,850 naval mines would be laid before D-Day. The bulk of the effort was seaborne, comprising two minelayers, four flotillas of 112’ Fairmile motor launches, and another six flotillas of MTBs for protection. Yet larger threats existed than the MTBs could efficiently handle, with five German destroyers and ten torpedo boats available in Channel ports; this was in addition to some 60 E-boats. And so, destroyers and the occasional light cruiser regularly patrolled the Channel as well. - The Royal Canadian Navy was heavily involved in this effort, with their destroyers Huron, Haida, and Athabaskan engaging the torpedo boats T-24, T-27, and T-29 on the night of 25/26 April. Aided by HMS Black Prince and Ashanti, the patrol force sank T-29, and damaged T-27. Three days later, early in the morning of 29 April, destroyers HMCS Athabaskan (shown) and Haida were directed to a coastal radar contact. It was T-24 and T-27 again, making for Brest; just one day after Channel patrols failed to catch the 5th and 9th Schnellboot Flotillas before the disastrous Battle of Lyme Bay, the Allies would have a chance at revenge. - At 04:12, Haida launched star shells to illuminate the German vessels off the coast of Île Vierge. The torpedo boats quickly laid smoke and attempted an escape, but not before loosing their torpedoes. Both Canadian tin cans swiveled their 4.7” main battery twin mounts towards the fleeing enemy and let loose, shattering the silence of the night air. But at 04:17, one of the German torpedoes found Athabaskan’s hull, triggering an explosion that hurled flames up through her decks and into the night sky. Haida laid smoke to protect the maimed destroyer, and charged off in pursuit of the enemy.

The HMCS Ontario (C53) was light cruiser of the Royal Canadian Navy in World War two. The ship was named after the Canadian province Ontario and was a ship of the Minotaur-class. The commissioning was on 25th May 1945 and had a length of 169m, a width of 19m and a draught of 5m. With her 4×Admiralty-type three drum boilers, she had a maximum speed of 31.5 knots (58.3 km/h) and had a displacement of 8,800 tons. HMCS Ontario had a armament of 9×152mm guns, of 5×101mm AA guns, of 4×40mm pom-pom AA guns, of 6×40mm AA guns and of 2×3-533mm torpedo tubes. ======================================= Originally, the ship was built for the Royal Navy and had the name "HMS Minotaur", but in July 1944 she was acquired from the Royal Canadian Navy. After the commissioning at Belfast, HMCS Ontario began a little training process in the River Clyde (Scotland). Then, the cruiser left the river on 2nd July 1945 and was sent in the Pacific, to join the 4th Cruiser Squadron of the British Pacific Fleet. The problem was that the ship was too late for war service. Thereby, she had other important operations, which took her to Hong Kong, Manila, and Japan. After the operations, HMCS Ontario returned to Canada and arrived the Canadian Forces Base (Esquimalt) on 27th November 1945, for a inspection and a refit. In January 1949, the ship took part in the largest training cruise by the Royal Canadian Navy, which included naval exercises with the US Navy, the Royal Navy and the Royal Australian Navy. The training ended for her in June 1951, because she was assigned with a very important mission: the escorting of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh during their Royal Tour in October 1951. After the escorting mission, HMCS Ontario began a training cruise around South America and visited several ports. Then, the ship took part in a Fleet Review in June 1953, for the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. In her last service years, she participated in several training cruises to New Zealand, Australia and to the Kingdom of Tonga. Finally, the cruiser was paid off on 15th October 1958 and scrapped in Japan in 1960. #History_of_warships #history #geschichte #RoyalNavy
