corvettes were built for around £120, 000, equivalent to $400 000 at that time, whereas, U-Boats cost $2 million and more, depending on the type. ***With the cost involved in building one U-Boat, five corvettes can be built, enough to escort a convoy in the Atlantic Ocean and outmaneuver a U-Boat. Concluding sentence: Countries were able to spend additional money on other necessities since they only had to spend a limited amount on purchasing large quantities of corvettes.

Germany, (and later Italy), had saw this as an opportunity to use their naval forces and warships to try and cut off this vital supply to starve Britain.

in the Tuskegee Airmen. I now have a deeper understanding of the adversity they had to overcome just to get the flying opportunity they were desperately seeking. With the research I did on Charles I see how tough it was for black pilots, during the mid 1900's. The men of the Tuskegee Airmen program are the reason I have the chance to fly in today's society and for that they have my thanks and respect. I am truly glad I chose the Tuskegee Airmen and Charles McGee because they have given me a new insight
sacks, but police continued thinking the killings were connected somehow. Some details have yet to be released. Body parts that had been washed up as far as 50 miles away from the initial site of the remains were later matched with ones found near Ocean Parkway. In 1996, legs washed up on a shore, and were later matched with remains found in April of 2010. The forearm, skull, and hands of Jessica Taylor were matched from remains found 50 miles away in 2003.

The Royal Canadian Navy with over a century of service under its belt has always answered its call to duty. In particular on the 30th of July 1950 [1],[5], the Royal Canadian Navy received its orders to deploy part of its fleet to Japan to assist their allies in an arising conflict in Korea. The previous month, on the 24th of June 1950, the heightened tensions in the Korean peninsula boiled over and the tiny boarder town of Ongijin was shelled heavily as the early dawn light broke the horizon [1]
The History of Submarines In the year 2000, the American submarine force will celebrate the first century of service by highly skilled people in some of the most technologically advanced vessels ever built. The past 100 years have witnessed the evolution of a force that mastered submersible warfare, introduced nuclear propulsion to create the true submarine, and for decades patrolled the deep ocean front line; the hottest part of an otherwise Cold War.

The Cold Embrace The night in the city was going to be especially cold tonight. The sky had been overcast for almost the entire day, leading to a brief although torrential downpour in the mid-afternoon. The streets of the Bronx outside the third-story apartment window that Leonard Jefferson Bennings now looked out were saturated from the July rainstorm and shone with a glimmer he remembered seeing from his bedroom window in Massachusetts many years ago.

The study of ecology has gained immense popularity in the recent years as people have become more concerned about the deteriorating environment and eco-system. Thus, in the field of literature, a new approach, Ecocriticism which mainly deals with a critical reading of literary texts in relation to environment, nature and literature, has come forward. As the basic definition suggests that ecocriticism studies the 'relationship between literature and environment'. The paper tries to delve into this
