In the summer of 1942 one of the main issues in the balance was the
fate of Malta. The island was still a bastion of the Royal Navy in
the Mediterranean and a constant threat to the supply route for the
enemy land forces in North Africa. It bravely resisted every
onslaught of the Axis powers, but food supplies were desperately
short and fuel oil running low. In August of that year Operation
Pedestal was launched - a last attempt to relieve Malta. Fourteen
merchant ships were allocated to it and the Royal Navy provided the
most powerful force ever to escort a convoy including four aircraft
carriers. Operating from Sardinia and Sicily, the Germans and
Italians let fly with their shore-based aircraft on an
unprecedented scale. The losses on the British side were appalling,
but the objective was achieved and the blockade of Malta was
finally lifted.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The Global Maritime distress and Safety System (GMDSS) is becoming
the all-embracing term for communication and data transfer between
ship and shore, and ship and ship. It's a highly automated system
of terrestrial satellite communications technology whose primary
role is to maintain safety of life at sea. Within the next five
years all vessels over 300 tonnes will be required to carry GMDSS
equipment. The seafaring nations of the world have together
established the rules and regulations for good working practices
within the system, and every serving and future navigating officer
will be required to hold the GMDSS General Operator's Certificate.
GMDSS for Navigators brings together in one publication the
knowledge required by anyone who wants to become a qualified and
competent operator of GMDSS communications equipment. It should
prove to be the accepted universal reference for GMDSS training.
SELLING POINTS
* All vessels will soon need to carry true equipment
* All navigating officers will need an operator's certificate
