Tidewater's Navy: An Illustrated History ReviewOn New Year's Day 1776 a small British fleet entered the Tidewater, sailed to the harbor and opened fire. It was just another incident of the history of Norfolk, Hampton Roads. Five years later, with Cornwallis trapped on the Yorktown penninsula, Admiral deGrasse and the French navy intercepted the Royal Navy fleet coming to rescue them and drove them off. Eventually Cornwallis was forced to surrender and was instrumental in ending the American Revolutionary War.
This was just the beginning of the Navy's involvment in the area, perhaps the best natural harbour on the Eastern Seaboard. It was in these waters that the Virginia (aka Merrimack) fought the 'Cheesebox on a raft' aka Monitor to a stalemate, but a stalemate that marked the end of centuries of wooden ships.
Today, the base is as busy as ever, sending ships and planes out to Iraq and to everywhere else that the Navy goes.
This book is the history of the Navy in the Tidewater. And that's almost the history of the Navy itself. Profusely illustrated, this book is a well earned tribute to all that has happened there.Tidewater's Navy: An Illustrated History Overview
