WW1: Not So Quiet On The Western Front! | A Battle Guide Production
Q-Ships - Deceive and Destroy
In 1915, a strange new type of vessel emerged at sea—one that looked like a harmless fishing trawler or a weary merchantman, but concealed hidden guns, carried hardened crews, and was ordered to destroy U-boats on sight. These were Q-ships, Britain’s answer to the U-boat menace. In today’s episode, we delve into their story and explore cat-and-mouse warfare, secret identities, and some of the most dramatic encounters of the First World War.

TRENDING: Oregon could LOCK a Top 10 class w/5-star Anthony "Tank" Jones. How many total?

UBoats - The War Beneath the Waves 1914-1916
At the outbreak of war in 1914, most still believed that the key sea battles would be fought above the waves. But beneath the surface, a revolution was beginning. Germany’s U-boats, small, cramped but lethal, would soon challenge the mighty Royal Navy and the rules of war itself. From prize law to the sinking of the Lusitania, this episode charts the U-boat’s rise - and the controversy it left in its wake.
