Does anyone know of a good biography of Admiral Conrad Helfrecht of the Dutch Navy? Alternatively, a good history of the Dutch sub efforts in the WW2 would also do. Can be in any language.

Brexit is now, in a majority of voters minds, linked with high interest rates, trade friction, travel friction and general incompetence. The reality may be more complex, but that doesn’t matter - it’s about perception, and the perception is that Brexit is not only a failure but a liability. And there is more pain to come. This is why in my view, coupled with demographic change, it is inevitable that we will soon begin the process of rejoining the single market and customs union no matter what Labour or the Conservatives say at the next election. This irresistible pressure will probably split the Conservative Party, which is ironic because Cameron’s only strategic aim in calling the referendum in the first place was to placate fringe elements of the Party.

No one can actually find this ‘child who identifies as a cat’. We should put pictures of her on lamp posts asking if anyone’s seen her. Then, when we’ve given up, she’ll come back in the night and it will turn out she was being fed over the road.

To identify the debris as part of the #Titan, the team would have needed to find a piece of #debris large enough to be identifiable and then bring it up to the surface for analysis, said @mercoglianos associate professor at Campbell University. news.usni.org/2023/06/22/coa…

Lovers of #Naval #History! I need your help! HMS Nubian does not seem to be getting pushed by @Youtube's algorithm because of her name, so if we want lots of people to see this wonderful ship, we need to share it ourselves to overcome the algorithm! youtu.be/tsE9KpBC3nI
