Download or read book Arsenal Ship Omnibus written by W. Frederick Zimmerman and published by Nimble Books. This book was released on 2011 with total page 892 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arsenal Ship was the most innovative naval weapons concept of the late 20th Century: a stealthy vessel armed with 500 Vertical Launch System (VLS) tubes and manned by a crew of only 25 or 30 sailors, intended to rain precision-guided missiles on enemies from a safe distance; a 'force multiplyer' that was seen as an integral part of the Revolution in Military Affairs. The arsenal ship fascinated military thinkers in the mid-90s, although there was spirited debate over the wisdom of putting so many eggs in one lightly defended basket. Would it have worked? Read the detailed contemporary analysis and judge for yourself. An essential reference for any library on modern navies. (Back of book)

Book excerpt: "This focus on influencing operations ashore drew the Navy into the littoral. Naval strategists noted that the littoral is where the great bulk of the world's population lives, where much of its wealth is generated, and where lines of communication for ocean-borne cargo begin and end. Moreover, it is the area through which an expeditionary military force must pass and in which supporting Naval forces must operate."--Page 1

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roland Tankowicz wasn’t even legally a person anymore. The aging cyborg had never really recovered from being betrayed and enslaved by his superiors in the Army, and the final insult of being permanently classified as “defunct military ordnance” had been a bitter pill to swallow. For the last three decades, he's avoided dealing with this by drinking beer and working as a fixer for the crime families in 25th-century Boston. It's easy money when you're the kind of guy who is bullet-proof and can pick up a house. But then Lucia Ribiero stumbles into his favorite watering hole dragging a squad of bounty hunters behind her. Shadows from his own dark past, and old debts still unpaid conspire to drive the old war-horse out for one more mission. Like any good soldier, the mission is all that matters for Roland. What follows is action and adventure on a scale the galaxy may never recover from. In this volume be prepared to see Roland fight cyborgs, gangsters, mercenaries, crime lords, mutants and at least one angry corporate executive as he starts down the ugly path to redemption. The guns will blaze and fists will fly, but before the dust settles a whole galaxy's worth of mad science gone awry will learn a painful lesson about letting sleeping dogs lie. Collected here are the first three full-length novels in the critically-acclaimed tech-noir phenomenon known as: THE FIXER

This book was released on 2007 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In June 2005, workers at the Marinette Marine shipyard in Marinette, Wisconsin, laid the keel for the USS Freedom, the Navy's first Littoral Combat Ship. The LCS constitutes a new class of fast, agile, and networked warships designed to overcome threats in shallow waters posed by mines, diesel-electric submarines, fast-attack craft, and fast inshore attack craft. LCSs will be key components in a proposed family of next generation surface combatants that also includes the much larger DDG-1000 destroyer and a future CG(X) cruiser. LCSs will be able to deploy independently to overseas littoral regions; remain on station for extended periods of time, either with a carrier strike group or an expeditionary strike group or through a forward-basing arrangement; operate independently and/or with other LCS units; and be replenished while under way.
