Book excerpt: Excerpt from Defensively-Armed Merchant Ships and Submarine Warfare Much has happened since August, 1914. Old problems in new forms have arisen, and a further examination of them, in view of new developments, seems called for. I propose in the following pages shortly to recapitulate the evidence and the conclusions reached in the former paper, written, it will be noticed before the outbreak of the war, conclusions to which I fully adhere to add further evidence which has been acquired since that paper was written; and to discuss the unprecedented situation which has arisen in view of the German use of submarines as commerce destroyers.

Download or read book The Crisis of the Naval War Classic Reprint written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Crisis of the Naval War Owing to the peculiar nature and demands of naval warfare, but few dispatches, corresponding to those describing the work and achievements of our great armies, were issued during the progress of the war. In a former volume I attempted to supply this defect in the historical records, which will be available for future generations, so far as the Grand Fleet was concerned, during my period as its Commander-in-Chief. The present volume, which was commenced and nearly completed in 1918, was to have been published at the same time. My departure on a Naval mission early in 1919 prevented me, however, from putting the finishing touches to the manuscript until my return this spring. I hesitated as to the publication of this portion of what is in effect one complete narrative, but eventually decided not to depart from my original purpose. There is some reason to believe that the account of the work of the Grand Fleet gave the nation a fuller conception of the services which the officers and men of that force rendered in circumstances which were necessarily not easily appreciated by landsmen.

There is no such boat in our sub marine flotilla as the X - 4. We ought to have plenty of big, fast, sea-going submarines, with plenty of big, fast sea-planes and battle-cruisers, so that if an invading army ever starts for this country we can meet it and smash it while it is cooped up on transports somewhere in mid ocean. There, and not in shallow, off-shore waters, cumbered with nets and mines, is the true battlefield of the submarine.

Download or read book The Story of the Submarine written by Cyril Field and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05-02 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Submarine: From the Earliest Ages to the Present Day The Submarine Torpedo-boat is a new addition to the arma ments of the Naval Powers. But its evolution has been the work of centuries. Vague accounts of submersible vessels filter down to us from the Middle Ages, while there are plenty of accounts of divers who, with and without special appliances to enable them to remain under water, were employed in warfare hundreds of years before Christ and for many centuries afterwards. In the pages of the little volume now before the reader, the author has endeavoured to give an outline of the history of Submarine Warfare and Navigation from the Earliest Ages to the Present Day. He has studied to avoid technicalities and diagrams, which, valuable and useful as they are in more ambitious works, are, in his opinion, out of place in a book which is intended merely to satisfy the curiosity of the man in the street, and for the amusement of the casual reader, without aiming at being a work of reference. Finally, the author has to acknowledge the valuable assistance he has received in his compilation from the works of N. Pesce, Alan H. Burgoyne, and Maurice Belpeuch, which are each and all of them most comprehensive books of reference on Submarine Navigation. He is especially indebted to Mr. Burgoyne for his kind permission to make use of the numerous diagrams and drawings in his Submarine Navigation in the prepara tion of the illustrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Submarines, Mines and Torpedoes in the War Warfare has become so largely a matter of science that in order to arrive at an intelligent understanding of the naval situation or of the military campaigns in the Great European War, a knowledge of the scientific factors contributing to victory or defeat is essential. And in this volume it has been my aim not only to review the actual fighting underseas, but also to present a compendium of information relative to the submarine fleets and arms of the great Naval Powers engaged; which I venture to hope will prove of present interest on account of the prominent part played by the underwater fighting ships and appliances, and of permanent historic value as being the first work to describe the vast preparations and curious events leading to the new "Submarine Phase" in naval warfare.

Prussian Militarism March 12, 1915, the Allies issued a decree in which they declared that it was necessary to prevent merchandise from reaching Germany directly or through neutrals. They, how ever, asserted in taking this step that they would not follow Germany in her cruel and barbarous methods and would not in their intention endanger neutral vessels or the lives of non-combatants; that they would act in strict conformity with the laws of humanity.

Download or read book Torpedo War and Submarine Explosions Classic Reprint written by Robert Fulton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Torpedo War, and Submarine Explosions N View of the prominent part played in the present World War by torpedoes and submarines, the subject of our extra N 0. 35 is peculiarly timely. The original of 1810 is very scarce, only one copy having been sold at auction in many years: nor are copies to be found in any but a few of our libraries. Fulton's claims for his invention have been fully substantiated and some of his predictions, made more than a century ago, are remarkably interesting, in view of the events of the past five months. His estimate of our population in 1920 has already been exceeded in fact, and only his plan of affix ing torpedoes to their prey by means of harpoons seems - for it was made in the days of wooden ships - fantastic, in these days of iron clads. He could not foresee that almost exactly a century would elapse before his invention would be extensively used though he cautiously says it is impossible to foresee to what de gree torpedoes may be improved and rendered useful. In the J oline collection of autograph letters, sold this month, was an extremely interesting letter of Fulton's, addressed to Gen. William Duane. A part reads.

Download or read book Submarines written by Mary Ethel Jameson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-14 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Submarines: A List of References in the New York Public Library The destiny of the submarine is as yet but little understood by the casual reader; at the present time its introduction into the art of warfare has caused it to be condemned by many, while others look upon it as a means of defense against or a means of destroying overwhelming sea power and, perhaps, think it may be utilized to assist in extending domination over other peoples when combined with military supremacy on land. I think those who use it for any illegitimate purpose will eventually see their error. Submarine inventors have, from the earliest days, considered the sub marine boat as a means to advanced knowledge of things beneath the surface of the seas, to recover and restore to the use of mankind many of the things that have gone to the bottom of the sea in ships, and also to recover the natural products of the sea, in the nature of shell fish, sponges, coral, pearls, and to reach mineral and other deposits heretofore inaccessible and unavailable to the people. The introduction of the submarine in war will eventually prove a benefit to all of the smaller and less powerful nations, as the submarine is undoubtedly able to offer to any nation the greatest degree of security for the least expenditure of money in the defense of its coast line.
