	Naval history (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Naval history is of special interest not only because of the value of learning how societies of the past dealt with the double challenge of human enemies and the implacable sea, but also because ships were the first technology to enable a global civilization.
		In 1582, the Battle of Punta Delgada in the Azores, in which a Spanish fleet defeated a French force, thus suppressing a revolt in the islands, was the first battle fought in mid-Atlantic.
		The Russo-Japanese War and particularly the Battle of Tsushima in 1905 was the first test of the new concepts, resulting a stunning Japanese victory and the destruction of dozens of Russian ships.

	Naval warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Naval warfare is combat in and on seas and oceans.

		But the period was one of intensive experimentation with new technology; steam power for ships appeared in the 1810s, improved metallurgy and machining technique produced larger and deadlier guns, and the development of explosive shells, capable of demolishing a wooden ship at a single blow, in turn required the addition of iron armor.
		After the war, many nations agreed to the Washington Naval Treaty and scrapped many of their battleships and cruiser while still in the shipyards, but the growing tensions of the 1930s restarted the building programs, with even larger ships than before; Yamato, one of the largest battleship ever, displaced 72,000 tons, and mounted 18.1-inch guns.
		The victory of the Royal Navy at the Battle of Taranto was a pivotal point as this was the first true demonstration of naval air power and marked the end of the battleship as being the sole capital ship of naval forces.

	Thoughts on USN Tactics, 1912
		Cruising Tactics and Approach Tactics would not seem to require that the personnel should occupy battle stations; but approach tactics would seem to require that the personnel should be able to take up their battle stations very quickly before gun fire should begin.
		If it be true that in the near future, fleet battles will be fought out on the ocean far away from land, it would then seem that, for purposes either of preparation for battle or battle itself, there is no reason why the fleet should not be always in a simple formation.
		In order to gain a tactical advantage on the open sea, almost the only thing that can be done is to cap the enemy or T him, or approximate that position; and usually this can be done only by the fleet that has superior speed.

		In this battle, the Russian Baltic Fleet under Admiral Rozhestventsky was destroyed by an Imperial Japanese fleet under Admiral Togo, rewriting naval strategy of the period.
