The Development of Navies: During the Last Half-Century (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the paradigm shift in naval warfare brought about by the transition from sailing ships to steam-powered vessels, beginning from the mid-19th century. Through meticulous research, the author highlights the challenges faced by naval powers in adapting to this technological revolution while maintaining their maritime supremacy in an era of rapidly evolving weaponry and tactics. By examining the impact of steam propulsion on ship design, armament, and operational capabilities, the book sheds light on the strategic implications of adopting new technologies in warfare. The author argues that the shift to steam was more than just a change in propulsion, it represented a complete rethinking of how navies operated and engaged in combat. The book offers a comprehensive analysis of the technical, tactical, and strategic aspects of this pivotal transformation in naval history, providing a valuable resource for understanding the evolution of modern naval warfare. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332313761_0

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Rear Admiral Sir Sydney Marow Eardley-Wilmot (3 October 1847 - 27 February 1929) was a Royal Navy officer who took an active part in the Suakin Expedition and who lost a hand as the result of an explosion at the Vernon torpedo school. He had a specialism in naval gunnery and was Superintendent of Ordnance Stores at the Admiralty during the period of the Anglo-German naval arms race when the Dreadnought Fleet was developed. He advocated for the construction of the largest guns possible. He wrote a number of works of naval history as well as two books about future naval warfare.Eardley-Wilmot was born into a military family - he had four elder brothers, three of whom (William, Revell and Frederick) were army officers. He joined the Royal Navy on 9 June 1860 and served on HMS Emerald and HMS Duncan as a midshipman. He received the Canadian General Service Medal in 1866 for services related to the Fenian raids of 1866.[3] He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in 1869. In January 1870, he joined HMS Zealous in the Pacific on which he served for three years and about which he later edited an account of the voyage given by the officers.
