Declaration of war Quote by Iain Ballantyne
““During the voyage Midshipman Corbett had been tasked with calculating the miles steamed by Warspite since the beginning of the war. After arriving at Greenock he recorded the following figures in his journal: 1939 (from declaration of war in September) – 12,984 miles. 1940 – 43,978 miles. 1941 – 25,253 miles. 1942 – 61,481 miles. 1943 – 17,168 miles.””
