	Naval Warfare, 1815-1914 - Lawrence Sondhaus - Microsoft Reader eBook - Download Now!
		From the era of Napoleon and Lord Nelson to the Anglo-German naval race before the first world war, naval warfare underwent a slow transition from the era of wooden sailing fleets to that of the modern steel navy.
		The rivalries of the naval powers, their wars and expeditions are investigated with special attention to the evolving state of naval technology.
		Because the relative industrial capabilities of seafaring countries were reflected in their naval building programmes, a focus on industrial development provides an important link between the matters investigated and the broader history of the period.

		Naval endeavours could be possible only in regions where the sea provides opportunities for harbourage, or in lands which are washed by large and navigable rivers.
		In the naval victory that Vaidyadeva won in Southern Bengal, the Kamarupa fleet probably co-operated with that of the Palas, for, according to the Kamauli Grant, Vaidyadeva had, previous to that conflict, defeated Tingyadeva of Assam and had obtained the __________________ 1.
		In naval tactics, as in many other branches of military science, the Hindus proved themselves unequal to their Muhammadan antagonists, The Jat fleet, though numerically superior, was vastly inferior to that of their rivals in its organisation, in the type of its men-of-war, and probably also in the art and science of maritime warfare.

	HELLAS:NET - Warfare
		Naval architects wished to add more power by adding more oarsmen, but the ship could not be made too long or risk breaking in the middle at sea.
		The object of naval fighting was to drive the ram into the side or rear of an enemy ship, puncture it, and then pull back, leaving a hole that resulted in the ship sinking.After 300 BC, grappling and boarding once again became important as ships increased greatly in size and became less maneuverable.
		Naval fighting at this time was primarily accomplished by moving ships adjacent, showering the opponent with missiles, and then boarding.

	Warfare 2
		Naval warfare was much more important to Athens than land battles fought by hoplites.
		It soon became evident to the Athenians that traditional hoplite land warfare was not as crucial to their dominance as their navy.
		With their naval domination, it seemed pointless to engage in hoplite warfare with the Spartans, who were renowned for their superior infantry.

	NAVAL WARFARE PUBLICATION
		In a period marked by rapid developments in technology, coupled with the broadening of the spectrum of conflict to encompass insurgencies and state-sponsored terrorism, it is not surprising that nations often disagree as to the precise content of an accepted practice of armed conflict and to its status as a rule of law.
		The increasing emphasis in modern warfare on seeking to isolate completely the enemy from outside assistance and resources by targeting enemy merchant vessels as well as warships, and on interdicting all neutral commerce with the enemy, is not furthered substantially by blockades established in strict conformity with the traditional rules.
		Naval mines are lawful weapons, but their potential for indiscriminate effects has led to specific regulation of their deployment and employment by the law of armed conflict.

		The general area within which the naval forces of belligerents are permitted to conduct operations includes: the high seas, the territorial sea and internal waters of belligerents, the territory of belligerents accessible to naval forces, and the air space over such waters and territory.

	GI -- World War II Commemoration
		Naval developments in World War II may be divided into four categories: (1) carrier operations, (2) amphibious operations, (3) mobile logistics, and (4) antisubmarine warfare.
		The task force method of conducting naval warfare is a byproduct of what might be called the task-type organization of naval operating forces.
		Insofar as future warfare was concerned, the most important naval developments of World War II may have occurred in the North Atlantic, where the struggle for survival of Great Britain was won before the United States offensive in the Pacific began.

	The Civil War: Naval Warfare
		From the earliest days of naval warfare nearly up to the year 1861 the wooden ship was the type of warlike vessels, oaken beams being the strongest bulwarks behind which fought the gallant sailors of the past.
		Another idea was adopted which also has had a revolutionizing effect on naval warfare, that of the employment of very heavy guns.
		The progress of iron-clad naval architecture has since rendered the use of very heavy guns an absolute necessity, and experiments in this direction have kept pace with those in thickening the steel coating of ships, until both seem to have nearly reached their limit of possible utility.
