		The main battleship nations during this period were Britain, France and Russia, plus newcomers Germany, Austria and Italy, while Turkey and Spain built small numbers of armored frigates and cruisers, and Sweden and the Netherlands built smaller "coastal battleships" (pantserschip) of up to 5,000 tons.
		The Royal Navy of the United Kingdom had ruled the seas for several centuries, but the German emperor Kaiser Wilhelm and his naval minister, Alfred von Tirpitz, set out to change that, in part for strategic reasons, but mainly due to a desire to challenge Britain.
		Battleships had also played a major role in the Battle of Cape Matapan, 27-29 March 1941, when three Italian heavy cruisers were surpised and overwhelmed by a British battleship force near Crete.

		The US Navy was focused on acquiring the ability to counter the navies of Great Britain and Japan after the Great War; the actual war was a distraction from the quest to acquire a capital ship navy. [fix] Armistice was declared on 11 November 1918.
		The battleship being the centerpiece of fleet engagements, submarines were used in a supporting role to screen and scout for the battle group.
		Amphibious warfare, i.e., that portion of the Navy that operates hand-in-hand with the Marine Corps is a subspecialty of surface warfare, and not a glamorous one.

		When the threat posed by the Royal Navy during the War of 1812 became overwhelming, the previously wide-ranging and victorious American frigates were eventually blockaded in their ports, protected by the guns of Army fortifications and by the wiles of still more private inventors and their crude but innovative underwater mines.
		Navy officers sat on the joint boards that planned these Army system, and along with the Army ran the nation's lighthouse system, vital for coastal navigation and potentially useful for homeland defense.
		Navy officers sat on the usual joint homeland defense boards, state naval militias were formed, a few more monitors were commissioned, Naval Districts for coastal defense were created, and a new harbor and coastal defense weapons-the submarine-was deployed.

	Kipling and the Royal Navy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Kipling's first acquaintance with the Royal Navy would seem to have been as a child in 1872-4, during the six year period when he was living in the "House of Desolation" in lodgings in Southsea, Hampshire.
		From 1865 onwards all battleships were, indeed, made of iron, but they utilized a great deal of timber in their construction, not merely for decks and partitions and their multitude of boats, but for their armour which was a sandwich of iron on the outside and inside, with teak in between.
		The Navy Lists show that Alert was in Devonport (Navy List (NL) for 20 Sept. `74), and arrived in Portsmouth sometime between then and 20 December `74 (NL for that date has her marked as 'Portsmouth'): while Discovery was purchased to act as a storeship for the proposed expedition on 5 December `74.

	The History of Royal Navy Aircraft Carriers
		A third Ark Royal entered service in 1938 and originally she was to have been joined by three sisterships, but more of the Illustrious Class were built instead.
		This attack effectively eliminated the Italian Navy but perhaps more significantly it demonstrated the power, ability and potential of the carrier and the attack was used as a model by the Japanese for their devastating attack on Pearl Harbour.
		Due to the severe manpower problems that the navy faced it was decide d that only two carriers could be kept operational at any one time with the third either in reserve or long refit.

		And that's not even everything the Navy has sent, nor have I even mentioned the Air Force or the Army both of which are also deploying huge forces now.

	Dreadnought
		Battleships missed their chance for many surface actions because they were being held back for the more "serious" fleet actions that never occurred.
		The few glorious moments of battleships were born of desperation, both between the British and the Germans and between the United States and Japan.
		New battleships would not be planned until 1936, when the naval treaties expired and Germany and Japan began to build up their own navies.

		Battleships participated in some great battles during the war: The Bismarck Sea Chase, the Guadalcanal Campaign and Leyte Gulf were just the major engagements that these ships were in.
		The remaining Battleships were still vital, but only for mopping up after a battle, supporting the carriers or for shore bombardments before amphibious assaults.
		A battleship is, as one of the historians interviewed pointed out, has a more impressive silhouette than any aircraft carrier.

	MILNET: U.S. Navy Warships
		Over the last few decades, the U.S. Navy has modified their sea power strategy to include and then focus in on the "litoral" areas, that is, the areas surrounding the shore, with the intent on projecting power inland.
		The Navy's newest class of ship, San Antonio (LPD 17), is scheduled to replace the older LPD 4 class and its increased vehicle and substantial cargo carrying capacity will make it a key element of 21st Century Amphibious Ready Groups.
		With the retiring of heavy battleships, the U.S. Navy has clearly indicated heavy cannon fire at sea is no longer a valid method of warfare, and Tomahawk land attack missiles have replaced the bigger guns for land attack as well.

		In the wake of the 1823 Greek naval defeat at Bodrum, however, the Greek Navy turned to privateering to support the revolt, and attacked merchantmen-including American merchantmen.
		By the end of 1828, Secretary of the Navy Samuel L. Southard tactfully reported that "due to the restraints of the existing authorities in Greece; and the system of convoy," the threat to American commerce from the Greek pirates had been eliminated.
		Thus, the US Navy and the Greek Navy have continued to operate together, carrying out the policies of their governments and demonstrating the congruence of those policies on many occasions.
