Grand fleet destroyers : Part I : flotilla leaders and 'V/W' class destroyers /John English. "This book describes the design, development and careers of two distinct groups of vessels, the destroyer leaders and the 'V/W' class destroyers, which were originally designed as leaders. The majority of the 93 vessels described in this volume were to have long careers, covering both World Wars. The 'V/W's only had limited fleet service in the last year of WW1 and an extensive programme of conversion into anti-aircraft escorts had been initiated pre-war, but was terminated early because of the need to have as many escorts as possible at sea. Later, with the greater availability of escorts, especially corvettes and ex-US destroyers, a programme was initiated to improve the A/S armament, AA armament and, especially, the range of the surviving 'V/W' destroyers. There were some losses during WW1 and in the Baltic 1918-20, but severe losses during WW 2. The early leaders, the 'Marksman's, were, except ABDIEL, quickly disposed of, but the 'Scott' and 'Shakespeare' leaders were operational for most of the 1920s and 1930s and survivors operated as escorts during WW 2. The 'Shakespeare's were the basis of the design of the leaders to the 'A/I' classes built 1929-1937. The 'V/W's themselves were the basis of the destroyers of the 'A' to 'I' classes and many destroyers built for foreign navies during the 1930s."--Provided by the publisher. 2019 • BOOK • 1 copy available.

How to build an aircraft carrier : the incredible story of the men and women who brought Britain's biggest warship to life /Chris Terrill. "65,000 tons. 280 metres long. A flight deck the size of 60 tennis courts. A giant piece of sovereign British territory that's home to up to 50 aircraft. HMS Queen Elizabeth is the biggest ship in Royal Navy's history and one of the most ambitious and exacting engineering projects ever undertaken in the UK. But it's her ship's company of 700, alongside an aviation wing of 900 air and ground crew, that is Big Lizzie's beating heart. And How To Build An Aircraft Carrier tells their story. From before the first steel of her hull was cut, Christ Terrill has enjozed unprecedented access to the Queen Elizabeth and the men and women who have brought her to life. From Jerry Kyd, the ship's inspirational captain, to Cdr Nathan Gray, the first pilot to land Britain's new stealth jet fighter on her deck, Terrill has won the trust and confidence of the ship's people. How To Build An Aicraft Carrier tells the story of Britain at her best: innovative, confident, outward-looking and world-beating."--Provided by the publisher. 2022. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 359.32

Torpedo : inventing the military-industrial complex in the United States and Great Britain /Katherine C. Epstein. "When President Eisenhower referred to the "military-industrial complex" in his 1961 Farewell Address, he summed up in a phrase the merger of government and industry that dominated the Cold War United States. In this bold reappraisal, Katherine Epstein uncovers the origins of the military-industrial complex in the decades preceding World War I, as the United States and Great Britain struggled to perfect a crucial new weapon: the self-propelled torpedo. Torpedoes epitomized the intersection of geopolitics, globalization, and industrialization at the turn of the twentieth century. They threatened to revolutionize naval warfare by upending the delicate balance among the world's naval powers. They were bought and sold in a global marketplace, and they were cutting-edge industrial technologies. Building them, however, required substantial capital investments and close collaboration among scientists, engineers, businessmen, and naval officers. To address these formidable challenges, the U.S. and British navies created a new procurement paradigm: instead of buying finished armaments from the private sector or developing them from scratch at public expense, they began to invest in private-sector research and development. The inventions emerging from torpedo R&D sparked legal battles over intellectual property rights that reshaped national security law. Blending military, legal, and business history with the history of science and technology, Torpedo recasts the role of naval power in the run-up to World War I and exposes how national security can clash with property rights in the modern era."--Provided by the publisher.
