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 |
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 |
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 |
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.
