Once the shining star of the British Empire, the Royal Navy can trace its routes back to the 16th century. Though it has lost some of its grandeur, it still exists as an important line of defense for the United Kingdom. Today's Pick examines the Royal Navy in the 20th century, giving readers the opportunity to experience the people and workings of the celebrated British fleet. With the opportunity to listen to an oral history from those who have lived and worked at sea their entire lives, the site offers a great deal of depth and detail. It tackles contemporary subjects such as women at sea and presents numerous photo galleries to illustrate the technology and themes these hard-working sailors encounter every day.
