John Elliot (Royal Navy officer)
John Elliot was a Scottish officer of the Royal Navy who served during the Seven Years' War and the American War of Independence. He rose to the rank of Admiral, and served briefly as colonial governor of Newfoundland.
Elliot was born into the gentry in Scotland, and entered the navy. Little is known about his early service, but he received a promotion to post-captain during the Seven Years' War, and commanded the 32-gun frigate HMS Aeolus with distinction, first capturing a small French frigate, and then taking command of a squadron of three ships and bringing to action the notorious privateer François Thurot, who had been raiding the coast of Ireland in 1760. After a short but bitter engagement, Thurot was killed and his ships captured. Elliot was widely hailed as a hero and he and his captains received several rewards. He commanded several other ships during the remainder of the war, and after a period of unemployment during the peace, returned to active service during the American War of Independence.

CRHnews - 4/5 HMS Bulwark + Maritime Combat Power CHOPPERS 2011
The last phase of training for the new flagship HMS Bulwark has been completed, ending six months of gruelling training.
Having undergone a £30 million refit, she took part in an exercise on the shores of Hampshire with a Maritime Combat Power invasion of Browndown Camp near Gosport.
It was a key part of her Operational Sea Training. HMS Bulwark has the ability to deliver troops and kit from the sea directly to the shore.
The last six months has seen her put to the test through scenarios including fire, flood, air, sea and submarine attack, as well as disaster relief.
HMS Bulwark is an Albion-class landing platform dock, the UK's newest class of amphibious assault warship and built in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria.
For numerous reasons, delays caused the delivery date to be put back, with the ship entering service in December 2004
Together with Albion, Ocean, and other amphibious ships, she provides a much-improved and potent amphibious capability for the Royal Navy.
In October 2011 she became the Flagship of the Royal Navy.[2]
The 64 metre flight deck is able to take two Sea King HC4 medium-lift helicopters and stow a third.
The deck can also support two Chinook heavy-lift helicopters, one down the side of the flight deck and one at the rear of the flight deck.
Though the Albion design does not have a hangar, the ship has sufficient equipment to support helicopter operations.
The ship also supports a permanently embarked Marine landing craft unit, 4 Assault Squadron Royal Marines.[3]
She is not entirely centred around aircraft operations, more around operating many smaller boats for sending large numbers of troops to shore as quickly as possible.
The rear of the Bulwark opens and floods a compartment, allowing boats inside to be launched.
HMS Bulwark was launched at the BAE Systems shipyard at Barrow-in-Furness on 15 November 2001.
Bulwark departed the UK in January 2006 for a six-month East of Suez maiden deployment.
She conducted counter-terrorist and counter-piracy tasks in waters off the Horn of Africa.
Bulwark then headed for the northern Persian Gulf to become the flagship of Task Force 158, providing security for Iraqi oil platforms.
At the start of the summer of 2006 Bulwark was near Spain. Due to the 2006 Israel-Lebanon crisis, on 15 July 2006 she was ordered to divert to Lebanon and to support operations evacuating British citizens from the conflict area.[4]
On 20 July, she evacuated approximately 1,300 people from Beirut in the biggest British evacuation.[5]
On completion of her extended deployment the ship returned to the United Kingdom.
At the start of June 2007 Bulwark was berthed at Sunderland on the River Wear.
In October 2008 Bulwark was at the Tail of the Bank in the Firth of Clyde together with Ark Royal and the French ship Tonnerre, taking part in Exercise Joint Warrior 2008.
On 18 February 2009 Bulwark sailed from Devonport as flagship to Commander UK Amphibious Task Group, Commodore Peter Hudson, on the Taurus 09 deployment.
She was joined by Landing Platform Helicopter (LPH) Ocean, Type 23 frigates Argyll and Somerset and four ships of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary.[6]
In Spring 2010 she entered a six-month refit at HMNB Devonport No. 8 dock.[7]
In March 2011 she rejoined the fleet and will take over as Fleet Flagship from her sister ship Albion later in 2011.[8][9]
She made a five-day visit to London on 16 March 2011.[10]
Bulwark is due to begin Operational Sea Training at the end of June 2011 in preparation to take up the role of fleet flagship of the Royal Navy.[11]
Bulwark is due to be withdrawn from its current role and enter extended readiness in 2016 when it will switch roles with HMS Albion (L14)[12]

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
African Slave Trade Patrol was part of the suppression of the Atlantic slave trade between 1819 and the beginning of the American Civil War in 1861. Due to the abolitionist movement in the United States, a squadron of U.S. Navy warships were assigned to catch slave traders in and around Africa. The operations were largely ineffective as after 42 years only about 100 suspected slave ships were captured.
