Description

Explore the evolution of naval leadership during a period of intense global competition. This book examines how the Royal Navy navigated the transition from traditional warfare to a new era of technological complexity between 1880 and 1919. As Britain faced an arms race with Germany, the naval service had to adapt to rapid changes. This study looks at how steam turbines, larger guns, and mechanical computing devices forced officers to rethink long-held beliefs. It provides a deep look into the social and political issues that arose as tonnage increased and technology transformed maritime strategy. By focusing on key continuities, the text offers a detailed perspective on how the service and its executive branch officers managed these shifts. It is an essential resource for those interested in British maritime history and the leadership challenges faced during the lead-up to the First World War.
