"El Príncipe de Asturias (R-11) fue el primer portaaviones diseñado y construido en España. Concebido para operar aviones STOVL Harrier, se basaba en el concepto Sea Control Ship desarrollado por la US Navy en la decada de los 70 y cancelado antes de que el proyecto avanzara mucho. La documentación generada por la oficina de diseño Gibb & Cox fue adquirida por la EN Bazán que completó y mejoró el diseño, añadiendo conceptos punteros como el ski jump"

Príncipe de Asturias (R-11) was the first aircraft carrier designed and built in Spain. Conceived to operate Harrier V/STOL aircraft, it was based on the Sea Control Ship concept developed by the US Navy in the seventies and canceled soon afterward. Documentation generated by the Gibb & Cox design bureau was acquired by Empresa Nacional Bazán, which completed and enhanced the design, adding state-of-the-art concepts like the ski jump.

GUARDIAN OF THE PROMISE by Irene Radford is out in #ebook.

In the Elizabethan Age, three descendants of King Arthur and The Merlin have inherited powerful magic. Any of them could be the next Merlin of Britain. And it's a good thing there's still a Merlin of Britain hidden in the mists.

Because the Spanish Armada is coming....

The Spanish Armada and the Protestant Wind - The Tudor Society

On this day in Tudor history, 30th July 1588, the once-mighty Spanish Armada, already damaged by the Battle of Gravelines, was scattered and driven northwards by violent storms. Many in England saw it as divine intervention — a “Protestant Wind” sent by God to defend the realm.

Innovation and Panic at the Siege of Antwerp 1584-5 by Loretta Goldberg - The Tudor Society

Thank you to Loretta Goldberg, author of The Reversible Mask: An Elizabethan Spy Novel for joining us today and sharing this excellent guest article on the Siege of Antwerp. During World War II, Sir Winston Churchill said, "In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies." Illusion was a tactic used in 1944 to deceive the Nazis about where the allies would land; many historians believe that the Normandy beachhead held because of the deception. 336 years earlier, in 1588, England faced invasion by Spain with its Armada of 120 ships and 20,000 troops that were meant to be supplemented by comparable forces from Spain’s soldiers and barges in the Netherlands (known as the Army of Flanders.) Illusion then also saved England.

The boat, which reproduces a 17th century model, will remain in London until 6 October, after having travelled more than 100,000 nautical miles around the world.
