Since 1900 the Royal Navy has seen vast changes to the way it operates This book tells the story not just of defeats & victories but also of how the navy has adjusted to over 100 years of rapid technological & social change The navy has changed almost beyond recognition since the far-reaching reforms made by Admiral Fisher at the turn of the century Fisher radically overhauled the fleet replacing the nineteenth-century wooden crafts with the latest in modern naval technology including battleships (such as the iconic dreadnoughts) aircraft carriers & submarines In World War I & World War II the navy played a central role especially as unrestricted submarine warfare & supply blockades became an integral part of twentieth-century combat However it was the development of nuclear & missile technology during the Cold War era which drastically changed the face of naval warfare
- today the navy can launch sea-based strikes across thousands of miles to reach targets deep inland This book navigates the cross currents of over 100 years of British naval history As well as operational issues the authors also consider the symbolism attached to the navy in popular culture & the way naval personnel have been treated looking at the changes in on-board life & service during the period as well as the role of women in the navy In addition to providing full coverage of the Royal Navy's wartime operations the authors also consider the functions of the navy in periods of nominal peace
- including disaster relief diplomacy & exercises Even in peacetime the Royal Navy had a substantial role to play Covering the whole span of naval history from 1900 to the present this book places the wars & battles fought by the navy within a wider context looking at domestic politics economic issues & international affairs It will be essential reading for anyone interested in naval history & operations as well as military history more generally
