		The USS Portland (CA-33) — Sweet Pea to her crew — was a fighting ship, serving in the Battle of the Coral Sea, the Battle of Midway, the naval battle of Guadalcanal, and almost every other battle fought in the Pacific Ocean during World War II.
		The Portland was instrumental in the outcome of WWII naval battles in the Pacific.
		In addition to the battles, Generous chronicles the details of life on board — the homemade stills the men ran in the newspaper office and the engine room, the women they romanced while on leave in Australia, and their obsession with the ship's "gedunks" stand, which sold ice cream, candy, and sodas.

	The Spanish Armada : Sir Francis Drake
		The Spanish crews were not trained to load and fire repeatedly during a battle and the carriages and tackles of the guns were not designed or suitable for this function; the system of wheels and tackle restricting recoil rather than easing it.
		Throughout the Armada’s journey up the Channel and at the Battles of Portland and Gravelines the Spanish struggled unavailingly to bring the nimble English ships within grappling and boarding distance; while suffering constant bombardment that killed many men, sank some ships and damaged others to such an extent that they foundered on the voyage home.
		Beaten in the battle the Spanish were carried up into the North Sea; two ships sunk and most of the remainder damaged by gunfire, with high casualties among the crew and soldiery.
