Summary/Abstract |
The author, in a three part series examines the evolution of naval warfighting doctrine, with examples, and seeks to set out a grammar of doctrine.
Within the context of the present highly complex and shifting environment and in the face rapid technological change, it is not unreasonable to question the validity of doctrine - Albert Palazzo -2008
Knowing the enemy is the bedrock of the business of strategy: strategic theories in comparison, are second order problems. To concentrate on doctrine before enemies is to put the theoretical cart before the actual horse -a double error - Ken Booth, 1979
Doctrine is the box outside of which we need to think- Colonel Rory Copinger, Symes, Royal Marine-2010

Summary/Abstract |
Between the wars, naval officers had a fine reputation for elegant dancing. In their black, tin trunks was packed a ball dress, a short of super mess jacket, with tails and golden epaulettes of splendour in direct proportion to rank upon the shoulders.

Summary/Abstract |
There has been a catastrophic decline in the numbers of India's vultures, on which the Parsis once depended for the disposal of their dead. Parsi numbers are falling too. Their community represents only 0.0005 per cent of the population of the Indian subcontinent, yet they have made such a mark in so many walks of life. Could Zoroastrian culture explain their disproportionate success? Parsi shipbuilders built frigates of Malabar teak for the British Navy and the EIC, Parsis provided the brains behind India's nuclear programme, the backbone of India's manufacturing industry and such international musical icons as Zubin Mehta and Freddie Mercury, as well as the first Asian MPs at Westminster and the first Indian cricket team to tour England,. Parsi merchant-princes made fortunes in the opium trade yet rivalled Andrew Carnegie in their philanthropy.

Summary/Abstract |
I enjoyed reading dreadnought to daring enormously and I have no doubt that I will pick it up again at some point and get yet more from it. As I emerged at the end, a couple of points crossed my mind based largely on the timeless argument that the lesson of history are more difficult to apply if the context in which we seek to apply them is to divorced from the circumstances in which the events occurred as to make them irrelevant.

Summary/Abstract |
A Las my start in HMS Bermuda could have been disastrous. In clearing out the officers files of the previous commission, I had piled these up in the kneehole of my desk, awaiting a chance for them to be destroyed. Now we had in the Captain's office a young sailor - we will call him Snodgrass - who was the messenger.

Summary/Abstract |
while mosses needed ten commandments to keep the Israelites in line, the navy's only ever needed one; "Be in the right place, at the right time, in the right rig". You have to get all of its mind. Moses reckoned he'd had a good day, if the team scored five or even six out of the ten. And an all embracing commandment it is too, for it applies to junior navies.

Summary/Abstract |
like run ashore oppos, ships internal comms systems are unreliable. If their designers lever went to sea they would soon realize why a smooth running warship needs comms in place like the tops of masts, the bottoms of bilges and every chidfy's caboose. And why microphones, loudspeakers and headsets must withstand soaking in foul weather and hosing down in fair.

Summary/Abstract |
The author discusses the recent intent to reinvigorate the naval case through on understanding of why (ends) rather than what and how (Ways and Means) we do what we do. He argues that this is actually a matter of education first, from which the RN can build position of strength.

Summary/Abstract |
This article is the result of the Naval Review centenary fellowship award 2013, sponsored by Ultra Electronics. The award provides six weeks for a Royal Navy Junior Officer to attach to the Royal Australian Navy for a chosen area of study. I chose to study junior officer development, primarily due to the prominence of recent NR articles on the topic, and the dynamic nature of training which will always be a balance between the fleet requirements and training resources. Without doubt, both navies have met significant changes and challenges in this area in recent years - and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

Summary/Abstract |
The shot -at-Dawn' grove in the National Memorial Arboretum is a somber place. At first sight it seems that some 300 stunted telegraph poles have been thrust into the soil. Closer examination reveals that each of these - there are 306 - bears a name. And one Officer shot at dawn in the First World War.
