| Summary/Abstract |
Buster hated anchoring. In all his years in command of frigates no other ship's evolution had developed such capacity for cock - up. As he mounted the bridge ladder he expected the worst, and was rarely disappointed. An unconvincing report, the hint of a fumble on the focsle chippy's grubby cap at an unusually rakish angle - and the bridge steps would run red.

Since I now live in the Gulf, it was a happy coincidence that found me in Portsmouth on 16th July 2013 and therefore able to attend the Centenary Party; and what a splendid affairs it was. I must have taken much work to prepare and I'm sure members will join me in thanking everyone involved.

| Summary/Abstract |
Each year as we sit down to our beef, and toast the immortal memory, we celebrate the life and death of the admiral who epitomizes leadership and command at sea, Nelson is the ultimate expression of tactical and strategic skill in naval warfare. However, the truth of Trafalgar is for more complex. No mater what the brilliance of Britannia's God of War, the battle was won a full half century earlier by a man whom the modern royal navy has largely forgotten, but whose achievements laid the foundation for a century of global dominance and the establishment of an empire the like of which has never been seen since.

| Summary/Abstract |
in the final article of his series, the author reflects on the results of his research and concludes that the fundamental cause of the seeming shrinkage in the size of the Royal Navy in not so much the reductions in the defence budget, nor even directly the cost of individual ships, but rather a shift, whether or not international and justified, in the strategic priority, accorded to the navy. If he is correct, than the solution must also lie in the realm of real strategic thought rather than in the 'tweaking' of budgets.

A couple of years ago I reflected in the journal on a visit to the First World War cemeteries of Northern France (NR Nov-11). This summer I have not been to France but instead I visited the quiet and unspoilt shotley Peninsula, south of Ipswich and not for from my home to see the former HMS Ganges in Shotley gate at the bottom end of the peninsula.

| Summary/Abstract |
I recently reread Dan van der Vat's book : The Ship That Changed The World, First Published In 1985. It provides an excellent account (other than a lack of large scale plans) of the escape of the German battlecruiser Goeben and cruiser Breslau to the Dardanelles in August 1914, and the subsequent entry of Turkey into the war on the side of the central power.

Dear Commander M
It is 35 years since I began this series of letters to you. reflecting on them, I am struck by the continuity which is apparent, even if it is one of rhyme rather than outright repetition.

| Summary/Abstract |
The author, a senior fellow of the Atlantic Council in Washington, DC and vising fellow at the Corbett centre for Maritime Policy studies, King's college, London, examines the idea of cooperation between the Anglophone navies to compensate for the declining strength of each of theme individually. He looks beyond comforting language about cooperation to what it might mean on the ground in real in real material terms. An earlier version of this article was published by the Atlantic Council and Rusi in September 2012.
In the unrelenting struggle of peoples, those ascendant at sea have, at least in the modern era, proved consistently successful either singly or in alliance against those with a territorial power base- Peter Padfield.

| 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.
