| Summary/Abstract |
I have just sold my house which, at a range of 4000 miles, is a complicated business. Not least of the challengers was the transfer of legal documents: whilst the contract could by dint of my emailed permission, be signed my solicitor, the transfer deed had to be signed personally by me. In this electronic age, the couriered exchange of documents just to facilitate my ballpoint scrawl in the corner seemed rather anachronistic.

| 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 |
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.

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.
