N.H.D. Paper Rough Draft
The RMS Queen Mary was nicknamed “Grey Ghost” during World War 2. With it’s stealth and camouflage grey color, it was a fitting nickname.

Before the war started, the RMS Queen Mary was prepared for service. As the war dragged on, it was equipped for dangerous areas. The more it was targeted, the better it was equipped. When the war ended, it became the only major pre-war ship. Since it had speed and stealth, the RMS Queen Mary was responsible for transporting American troops more efficiently than any other ocean liner.
Before World War II, it became a popular ship. It had a large capacity, having 776 cabin class, 786 tourist class and 579 third-class.

- Queen Mary Ianalytical essayQueen Mary I violently attempted to restore Roman Catholicism to an Anglican England during the 16th Century. She had every intention of returning Catholicism during her five year reign by marrying her Roman Catholic cousin and providing a Catholic heir. The Wyatt Rebellion caused her to burn over 200 Protestants at the stake, which earned her the infamous name “Bloody Mary” (Lindbuchler). The citizens of England loathed her and the Catholic Church because of this. Mary also took away the right for martyrs to publicly surrender which added to her unpopularity among her subjects. By the time of her death, Queen Mary’s plan to reestablish the Catholic faith in England was completely ineffective and England continued to be Protestant.

723 wordsRead More - The Development of the Torpedo during World War Iexplanatory essayThe year is 1942, and German U-boats are wreaking havoc on allied shipping to Britain; the vital lifeline which allows the island nation to survive. Unchallenged, they sink hundreds of the merchant vessels which carry the desperately needed food, arms, and other equipment that is necessary for Britain's survival. They are silent and deadly; undetected until it is too late. With a loud deafening blast, a torpedo impacts the center of a ship, breaking its back. The other ships try to run, as their crews search for the unseen attacker by the glow of the ship slipping under the water to her final resting place. Cries of terror pierce the sky, as a ghostly shadow is seen heading for the flagship. The ship rolls to the side as it turns as hard as it can. The torpedo misses, but a second blast pierces the sky, disabling the ship's rudder and propellers. Tracking the submarine with its sonar, a destroyer escort moves at full steam to counter the threat. Once over the spot where the submarine lurks, depth charges are shot over the railing, and they sink quietly in the water to bring the fight back to the concealed enemy. As each detonates, the water bulges over top of where they were dropped. Knowing when it has met its match, the German U-boat retreats and the battle is over until another day.
