Why did Lord Ansonset out to circumnavigate the world with a crew of Chelsea pensioners? & how did the British cruiser HMS Trinidad manage to torpedo itself in the Arctic. The answers to these questions & details of numerous other entertaining & unbelievable historical events are revealed in this absorbing survey of naval incompetence from Roman times to the Falklands War.
