1804. Oceans are now Battlefields. In the South China Sea a British convoy worth almost £1bn today is spotted by the French. It should be a massacre. Instead, Commodore Nathanial Dance is about to defeat a French battle squadron using some paint and the most overplayed hand in #navalHistory. /1 🧵

Lots of special animals and pets buried in the PDSA London animal cemetery. But my first visit is always to Able Seacat Simon. Only feline recipient of the animal Victoria Cross. "During the Yangtse Incident, his behavour was of the highest order." Thread below. #navalHistory
A well-kept grave and memorial stone to Able Seacat Simon.

The Dickin Medal is the highest award that can be issued to animals in British military service. Bearing the words "We Also Serve" it has been awarded 75 times since its creation in 1943. Only one cat has ever received the award. This is the story of Able Seacat Simon, of HMS Amethyst. 🧵 1/25

6 Aug 1943 // Submarine HMS Parthian was lost with all hands (65 men) on or around this date while on patrol in the southern Adriatic. The cause of her loss is unknown but it is likely that she was mined off the Italian coast near Brindisi. (Imperial War Museum A 14912) #RoyalNavy #WW2 #NavalHistory

Women have always gone to sea and faced the sea's dangers. Women were in many of the naval losses chronicled here, and are numbered among the casualties. Remembering them, and all the women afloat and ashore whose lives are caught up with the sea, on this #InternationalWomensDay #NavalHistory
