  • Author : David Stevens
  • Publisher : Allen & Unwin
  • Release : 2005-01-01
  • ISBN : 1741159040
  • Pages : 465 pages

Download or read book The Navy and the Nation written by David Stevens and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia has often been described as a nation shaped by war. From an early age, every Australian is taught the significance of Gallipoli and the Anzac legend. This, however, is but one dimension of the military's impact on our nation's coming of age. Australia, after all, is an island. It was the Navy which explored and founded European Australia, and it is the Navy which has ever since been critical to our national security. With its ancestry in the Royal Navy and the former colony-based navies, the Australian Navy was established in 1901. Since that time it has helped Australia enter the international community as a modern, self-reliant nation and has been indispensable in protecting Australia's sovereignty and national interests. Despite the Navy being one of Australia's oldest and most important institutions, the links between nation-building and the Navy have never before received detailed study. Bringing together scholars from Australia and overseas, The Navy and the Nation examines the extent of the Navy's contribution to our national development. It shows, too, how the Navy has played a vital role in defining our independent national identity. A former naval officer, David Stevens is a graduate of the University of New South Wales and the Australian National University, and is currently Director of Strategic and Historical Studies within the Sea Power Centre - Australia. He has written and edited several books on maritime strategy and naval history. John Reeve is Senior Lecturer and Osborne Fellow in Naval History at the University of New South Wales at the Australian Defence Force Academy. He has written extensively on early modern and contemporary diplomatic and strategic issues.

Book To Master the Boundless Sea

Download or read book To Master the Boundless Sea written by Jason W. Smith and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2018-04-13 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the United States grew into an empire in the late nineteenth century, notions like "sea power" derived not only from fleets, bases, and decisive battles but also from a scientific effort to understand and master the ocean environment. Beginning in the early nineteenth century and concluding in the first years of the twentieth, Jason W. Smith tells the story of the rise of the U.S. Navy and the emergence of American ocean empire through its struggle to control nature. In vividly told sketches of exploration, naval officers, war, and, most significantly, the ocean environment, Smith draws together insights from environmental, maritime, military, and naval history, and the history of science and cartography, placing the U.S. Navy's scientific efforts within a broader cultural context. By recasting and deepening our understanding of the U.S. Navy and the United States at sea, Smith brings to the fore the overlooked work of naval hydrographers, surveyors, and cartographers. In the nautical chart's soundings, names, symbols, and embedded narratives, Smith recounts the largely untold story of a young nation looking to extend its power over the boundless sea.

Book The Navy and the Nation War Time Addresses  Classic Reprint

Download or read book The Navy and the Nation War Time Addresses Classic Reprint written by Josephus Daniels and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Navy and the Nation War-Time Addresses "Full speed ahead!" has been the signal of the Navy from the moment we entered the war. When the call came, it was ready. The plans had all been prepared in advance, and it required only an order to mobilize the Fleet. Far from breaking down under the war strain, the departmental machinery actually speeded up. No change whatever was required in the organization, which easily expanded to meet the immensely increased demands. From admirals to seamen, from Bureau chiefs to clerks, the entire establishment worked together with the spirit of the corps. This "spirit of the Navy" is a very real thing, as all who are brought in contact with the Service know. Everybody "gets into the game" with a dash and eagerness that are infectious, and new elements are quickly assimilated. The apparent ease with which the vast expansion of the Navy was accomplished has caused many to lose sight of the tremendousness of the task and its difficulty.

Book The Rise And Fall of British Naval Mastery

Download or read book The Rise And Fall of British Naval Mastery written by Paul Kennedy and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2017-01-26 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Kennedy's classic naval history, now updated with a new introduction by the author This acclaimed book traces Britain's rise and fall as a sea power from the Tudors to the present day. Challenging the traditional view that the British are natural 'sons of the waves', he suggests instead that the country's fortunes as a significant maritime force have always been bound up with its economic growth. In doing so, he contributes significantly to the centuries-long debate between 'continental' and 'maritime' schools of strategy over Britain's policy in times of war. Setting British naval history within a framework of national, international, economic, political and strategic considerations, he offers a fresh approach to one of the central questions in British history. A new introduction extends his analysis into the twenty-first century and reflects on current American and Chinese ambitions for naval mastery. 'Excellent and stimulating' Correlli Barnett 'The first scholar to have set the sweep of British Naval history against the background of economic history' Michael Howard, Sunday Times 'By far the best study that has ever been done on the subject ... a sparkling and apt quotation on practically every page' Daniel A. Baugh, International History Review 'The best single-volume study of Britain and her naval past now available to us' Jon Sumida, Journal of Modern History
