	Royal Navy in the 21st century - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At the beginning of the 1990s, the Royal Navy was a force designed for the Cold War - with its three ASW aircraft carriers and a force of small frigates and destroyers, its purpose was to search for and destroy Soviet submarines in the North Atlantic.
		So, over the course of 1990s and into the 2000s, the navy has begun a series of projects to enhance and rebuild its fleet, with a view to bringing its capabilities into the 21st century and allow it to turn from a North Atlantic, anti-submarine force into a true Blue-water navy.
		The Navy's surveying service has responsibility for surveying and charting the oceans, the information from which goes into the numerous Admiralty produced charts and publications that are used all over the world.

	Royal Navy - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The navy helped establish the United Kingdom as the dominant military power of the 19th century, and was essential for maintaining the British Empire.
		The first reformation and major expansion of the Navy Royal, as it was then known, occurred in the 16th Century during the reign of Henry VIII whose ships, Henri Grâce a Dieu ("Great Harry") and Mary Rose, engaged the French navy in the battle of the Solent in 1545.
		The law allowed the Navy to use the unpopular practice of impressment where seamen were forced to serve in the Navy during times of manpower shortage, usually in wartime.

	Christening, Launching, and Commissioning
		When a woman accepts the Secretary of the Navy's invitation to sponsor a new ship, she has agreed to stand as the central figure in an event with a heritage reaching backward into the dim recesses of recorded history.
		French ship launchings and christenings in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries were accompanied by unique rites closely resembling marriage and baptismal ceremonies.
		As the nineteenth century progressed, we see that American ship launchings continued to be festive occasions, but with no set ritual except that the sponsor or sponsors used some "christening fluid" as the ship received her name.

	Navy - South Korea Intelligence & Security Agencies
		The mission of the navy during peacetime is not only to deter war, but also to protect national and maritime sovereignty, and perform activities that support national foreign policies and enhance national prestige.
		In the 1980s, the ROK Navy began to change its character by establishing close cooperation with Pacific nations through several combined exercises such as the "RIMPAC Exercise" to be the "Ocean-Going Navy." In 1993, the ROK introduced and built submarines, and in 1995, introduced maritime patrol aircraft P-3Cs to increase antisubmarine capabilities.
		Both the navy and marine corps were subordinate to the chief of naval operations, who was a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

		Some coastal navies, supplemented by sensors, weapons, and command-and-control systems on land but pointed to seaward, are very proficient in adapting to their own geography, weather conditions, coastal shipping and air traffic, and generally, the clutter of their littoral environment.
		Furthermore, because the functions of a navy are to move and deliver goods and services on and from the world's oceans, about 90 percent of the conduct of a maritime campaign is determined by logistics--the movement at sea or the sustainment on land of combat potential.
		The watchword of Theophile Aube, founder of the French Navy's jeune ecole, was, "Shamelessly attack the weak; shamelessly flee the strong." It could serve as the epigram for maneuver warfare of the cheap-and-bloodless-victory variety.

	Royal Navy CVF programme - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		While it has been suggested that reducing the carrier force by one vessel will lead to a reduction in the ability of the Royal Navy to project carrier air power, it is planned that advanced design and maintenance techniques will eliminate the present requirement for major refits.
		The French Marine Nationale have begun negotiations with the Ministry of Defence about purchasing the CVF design for about £140m (Future French aircraft carrier).
		The French Navy is understood to be unwilling to proceed with another nuclear powered carrier of the Charles de Gaulle design due to the problems and costs experienced both building and operating that ship.

	21st Century Battleships
		Navy task forces could fire hundreds of harpoon missiles, tomahawk missiles, hellfire missiles and even 5-inch gun projectiles at the target battleship and cause only minor damage.
		The Navy claims that battleships are expensive to operate and manpower intensive, ignoring the fact that an aircraft carrier with air wing costs five times more to operate and requires four times more sailors.
		I explained that the US Navy's reluctance to devote resources to deal with the mine threat should not reflect badly on the battleships, especially since the battleships still fired 1100 rounds while the Navy fired no 5-inch guns from their billion dollar destroyers and cruisers.

		I would argue that navies make six contributions to strategy overall, two that are sort of in the realm of grand strategy and four that are in the realm of strategy proper, fighting and winning wars.
		But access is what the Navy provides, and the concept of sea basing or joint sea basing allows us to operate independently of shore bases--it will allow us to operate independently of shore bases, and that's why the concept of sea basing has been adopted in the joint environment.

		Ceramic flagons like this one, but slightly larger having a capacity of one-Imperial gallon, were used to carry and store rum on board ships of Great Britain's Royal Navy from the late 1800's through July 31st, 1970 on which date the daily issue of rum was terminated.
		The navy's flagons were encased in a tightly hand-woven willow basket to reduce breakage, whereas this Pusser's version has been decorated to salute one of the world's greatest fighting admirals, Horatio Nelson.
		At the beginning of the 19th century, England was in a difficult position.

	Smarter Security for Smaller Budgets: Shaping Tomorrow's Navy and Coast Guard Maritime Security Capabilities
		Examples of maritime security operations are, for the Navy, interdiction of weapons of mass destruction under the Proliferation Security Initiative[3] and, for the Coast Guard, interdiction of illicit drug smugglers and illegal high seas fishermen.
		U.S. Navy warships, designed for high-intensity war against a major opponent, when used for maritime security duties are just too menacing in regions sensitive to sovereign rights and may not always be the most politically acceptable means for duty against maritime criminals and terrorists.
		Navy officials believe that the Navy, while contributing to maritime homeland security operations, should remain primarily focused on deploying naval forces overseas to provide a forward defense against threats to the United States.

		England's fear of a united European continent in the 19th century was understandable, because only a continental power unconcerned with land enemies would be able to concentrate its resources to challenge the Royal Navy.

		The U.S. Navy appears to be on the brink of a real commitment to revitalize antisubmarine warfare, but the pace of this revitalization will be significantly less than it needs to be if sustained support, effective organization, and ample resources are not forthcoming.
		Where previously the Navy had focused on a known adversary whose military and submarine force could threaten the nation’s very survival, it now concentrated on uncertain potential adversaries with area-denial strategies designed to inflict unacceptable losses (as occurred in Lebanon in 1983 and Somalia in 1993).
		All U.S. Navy submarine towed arrays, all surface-ship active sonars, all aircraft sonobuoys, all helicopter dipping sonars, and all undersea surveillance systems in the fleet in 2004 have their origins in the Cold War.

		Due to its reliance on technically skilled personnel and foreign assistance, the Navy was much more vulnerable to this crusade against intellectuals and foreign influence than the dominant army.
		Perhaps even more debilitating, the Navy was forced to commission ideologically acceptable “left-leaning” officer recruits whose incompetence would impede technical and organizational progress in the force well into the 1980s.
		Concurrently, major geopolitical shifts were underway that would provide new impetus to Chinese seapower as it neared the 21st century.

		To its citizens and leaders, many of whom regard the Middle Kingdom’s decline in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as a historical anomaly and its modern resurgence as a national priority, this renewed stature means a larger economic, political, and military role for China in East Asia and beyond.
		Plagued by infighting and mass defections to splinter factions after half a century of uninterrupted rule, the party of the ROC’s “founding father,” Chiang Kai-shek, lost its majority in the parliament for the first time in history in December 2001, surrendering almost half its seats.
		The Navy is working to plug this vulnerability, but the prospective solution, the developing Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile—launched from the Aegis destroyers’ Mark 41 Vertical Launch Systems—will take time.

		While this was ostensibly to prevent Russia entering the region, Britain also meant to keep French ambitions in Syria and Lebanon contained, guarantee access to the Suez Canal and the keep the flow of oil from Iraq unchallenged.
