Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of articles and reports surrounding the subject of coastal artillery and its relative importance as the primary defense system for posts guarding important harbors and naval installations. These works became more important after the advent of smokeless powder and armor plating on naval vessels that rendered previous methods of coastal defense ineffective. This book details some of the ways that modern artillery has advanced its capabilities to keep pace with newer naval technologies, through new systems such as the disappearing mount and smokeless powder. These advancements led to the increase in concealment of batteries and moral effect on the enemy. The author argues that disappearing guns offer greater protection due to their redeployment into the earth's surface after firing. The author makes clear that the latest advances in coastal artillery have proven to be the most effective in modern warfare.
