    On a raid in Zeebrugge, Belgium, on April 23, 1918. The Royal Navy tried to block the Belgian port of Bruges-Zeebrugge by sinking old ships at the entrance to the canal so that German ships could not leave it. Thus, two ships were successfully sunk in the canal along with its 583 sailors. Unfortunately, the barrier ships were sunk in the wrong place and soon the canal was reopened.
    Why were the liberals screaming inaudibly? They threw the Germans over with corpses. The insidious detachment did not let the sailors out of the ships. The damned Labor omomaki are to blame for everything. What did the Cherchelism bring the country to. laughing

      It is interesting where the author took these figures of losses: in the roadstead on Zeebrugge and Ostend, with the aim of blocking these ports with specially prepared fire-ship ships, which were planned to be flooded in the roadstead. Only volunteers took part in the operation: 82 officers and 1698 sailors and soldiers, including 30 officers and 660 soldiers of the Royal Marines. Of the large ships (besides the fire ships), the British lost only one destroyer. Losses in personnel: 214 killed and 383 wounded - and these are the total losses in the crews of all ships and vessels participating in the operation, as well as in the landing. But the raid participants rained awards: 11 Victoria Crosses, 21 Distinguished Service Orders, 29 Distinguished Service Crosses, 16 Medals of Valor, 143 Distinguished Service Medals. By the way, during this operation, British Lieutenant P.T. Dean on his patrol boat ML-282 managed to take out and rescue 150 people from the teams of two fire-ships - the obsolete armored cruisers Intrepid and Iphigenia, sunk in the Bruges roadstead.
      So the liberals, alas, are in flight. fellow There was no flooding of the ships with the crews.
      I have the honor.

    Judging by the selection, the Americans fought with the Germans at sea in WWI. The British helped them a little, and all the other participants only posed.
    And what is this flagship "Tsesarevich" in 1915?

    By the way, the battleship "Tsesarevich" is one of the most successful ship projects in the Russian Empire! And he fought a lot.

      The project was purely French and built by the French too. But on the basis of its preliminary design, Russian battleships of the Borodino type were created.

      This is U-118.
      ... On April 15, 1919, U-118 was washed ashore at Hastings, East Sussex. Hundreds of curious people came running to the beach near the Queen's hotel. The city authorities quickly got their bearings and began charging a small fee to board the sub.

      However, as someone wrote from historians, Germany launched the 2 World War with the submarines of the 1 World War. So you can make a mistake.

    Incidentally, in the photo, the unloading of a 155mm gun onto the Gallipoli Peninsula during the Dardanelles operation. In the background is not Askold?

      At the time of launching in 1902. "Askold" was probably the only FIVE-pipe cruiser.

      Most likely it is either Bashanti or Yuriales - from the famous English cruisers of the Cressy class. And they are famous for the fact that on September 22.09.1914, 9, the German submarine U-XNUMX sank THREE cruisers of this series ("Abukir", "Cressy" and "Hog").

    great photos!
    The plane takes off from the deck of the USS North Carolina aircraft carrier, July 12, 1916. - if memory serves, this is a battleship. The names of the US states were given only by LC, by the way. Yes, and there were no aircraft carriers in 1916

    We still know little about those events. In Soviet times, it was a forgotten topic. Imperialist war. But it was a huge world event, and Russia took an active part in it. It was wrong to hush it up. After all, there were victories and defeats and heroes and those who have proven themselves inappropriately.

    Amused here is this inscription under the photo: "The German cruiser" Seydlitz "burns during the Battle of Jutland. May 31, 1916." - perhaps there is an inaccurate translation and the author was referring to the Battle of Jutland - the largest battle of the 1st World War between the fleets of Germany and Great Britain, which took place on May 31 - June 1, 1916 in the North Sea and quite far from the shores of the Jutland Peninsula. By the way, the battle cruiser "Seydlitz" received heavy damage in this battle, but thanks to her high survivability (a consequence of a well thought out design and high quality workmanship), as well as excellent training and courage of the team, well-organized struggle for survivability, she was able to reach her native shores. The only modern ship of the line lost by the German fleet in this battle was the battle cruiser "Luttsov" and that was finished off after the battle by torpedoes from its own destroyers due to the impossibility of towing the heavily damaged and out of action ship to German ports. By the way, the British fleet in this battle lost three battle cruisers "Queen Mary", "Indefatigable" and "Invincible" with heavy losses in crews.
    I have the honor.
