Abstract:
Between 1660 and 1815 the combat fatality rate among British navy captains fell by 98 percent, even as the combat success of the British Navy rose dramatically. Both developments can be explained as a result of learning by doing among British commanders. This learning was importantly driven by the extensive wartime experience accumulated over this period, combined with the unparalleled financial incentives for combat success offered to British commanders.

Abstract:
What is more characteristically English than the Navy?The relationship between naval power and British sovereignty is one of long standing in British foreign policy. This was especially evident in the nineteenth century, when Britain achieved almost unchallenged global naval pre-eminence following the Napoleonic Wars, keeping order in a world that British commercial interests were creating. As a consequence, the traditional role of the navy as a national defense force was changing dramatically to that of an international policeman on the one hand and surrogate statesman on the other. These two roles were generally most pronounced in the emerging tropical areas of trade in Asia, Africa, and South America.It is in relation to Africa that this essay is concerned, and over the course of the nineteenth century, the influence of the Royal Navy on African societies was an evolving, but considerable, force--as surveyor, policeman, employer, ally, adversary, diplomat, and enforcer. On the whole, Britain's Africa policy throughout much of the century was based on the suppression of the slave trade, while simultaneously providing protection for British citizens promoting “legitimate” commercial interests.Since the trade in slaves from Africa was chiefly a maritime enterprise, its navy became the chief instrument for implementing these foreign policy objectives, a role that shifted in the second half of the century to a more direct imperialist posture.

Abstract:
AbstractDuring the ‘long eighteenth century’, several thousands of sailors born outside British territories served in the Royal Navy. This phenomenon, and the peculiarities of their employment compared to that of British seamen, remain largely unstudied. This paper aims to show that, as far as disabilities or privileges were concerned, official legislation only played a very small part in making alien seamen's experiences in the navy distinct from those of their British colleagues. More broadly, this article argues that, whilst transnationalism can be overemphasized, there are specific contexts and groups of people for which the power of the state falters when it comes to obstructing movement, and indeed it is forced, for its very survival, to act strategically against the barrier to circulation that frontiers normally constitute. In similar circumstances, the origins of the individuals concerned, intended as official labels that states normally use to classify them, control them, and claim or disclaim ownership over them, can become all but meaningless. Thus, naval sailors, as useful state servants, can be an excellent case-study to understand the category of legal ‘foreignness’ as it developed in modern nation-states, and the tensions inherent to it.

Abstract:
This article looks at the role of the British Royal Navy during the First Sino-Japanese War of 1894–1895. Although the British government decided to stay neutral and work with Russia to mediate between Japan and China, the presence of the China Station of the Royal Navy played a subtle role in influencing the strategies adopted by China and Japan. However, as the British government underestimated its own naval power and possibly overestimated that of its potential opponents, the China Station played only a limited role to protect British interest. As a result, Russia used a much weaker fleet to achieve its territorial and political goals, while Britain was forced to increase its military and naval investment in East Asia. The result of the war was the opposite of the intention of the British government, namely to maintain stability in the area and check the spread of Russian influence.

Abstract:
An international maritime labour market study, the thesis focuses on the Dutch naval labour market, analysing wartime Zeeland admiralty crews. The research is based primarily on unique naval pay sources. Analysis of crew compositions has not been made on this scale in the period before. The 1667 Dutch Medway Raid is the starting point, where a few British played a leading role – amongst many others reported on the Dutch side. Pepys and Marvell primarily blamed their joining the enemy on the lure of superior Dutch payment. The thesis asks how many British there were really, how they came to be in Dutch service, and whether this involvement occurred, as indicated, at other times too. Part One is thematic and explores the background mechanisms of the maritime environment in detail, determining causation. First, the two naval recruitment systems are compared and completely reassessed in the light of state intervention in the trade sphere. Two new sets of ‘control’ data – naval wages and foreign shipping – are amongst the incentives and routes determined. British expatriate communities are examined as conduits for the supply of naval labour and civilian support. British personnel are compared and contrasted with other foreigners, against the background of Anglo-Dutch interlinkage and political transition from neutrality through conflict to alliance. Part Two is chronological, covering four major wars in three chapters. Micro-case studies assembled from the scattered record streams enable analysis of the crews of particular officers and ships. Seamen were an occupation that made them a very little known group: the thesis examines the different career types of British personnel of many different ranks, shedding light on their everyday lives. The thesis shows that British personnel were an integral part of Dutch crews throughout the period, even when the two nations were fighting each other. The basic need of subsistence labour for employment took precedence over allegiance to nation/ideology, demonstrating limitations in state power and the continual interdependence forced on the maritime powers through the realities of the labour market.

Full text
Abstract:
Between 1688 and 1742, the Royal Navy emerged as the largest navy in Europe. New bases, increasing logistical sophistication and consolidation of a professional officer corps saw the range of possible uses for the navy greatly expand. The wars of 1688-1713 witnessed the first long term deployments of large fleets to distant seas, where they were used in new strategies of strategic blockade and supporting major combined operations. After these wars, the navy was kept up in peacetime and used in new ways as an instrument of forceful diplomacy. The meaning of these developments was fiercely contested in the burgeoning public sphere that flourished after the Glorious Revolution. Competing ideas of what the navy should be were prosecuted through a vibrant print culture, which couched the navy’s role and nature within broader debates about Britain’s government and identity. This thesis argues that representations of the navy in the public sphere fell into two loose but distinct and contrasting visions of seapower. An institutional model emerged to celebrate a modern standing navy for manifesting the power of the British fiscal-military state. Conversely, a redemptive critique came to reject these changes as encroachments upon British Liberties. Instead, it asserted that culturally appropriate naval power was best achieved by returning to the example of an imagined Elizabethan heyday. This thesis argues that these models partially overlapped with partisan politics. Incumbent governments tended to justify the navy with institutional rhetoric, while the redemptive model provided oppositions with a set of culturally resonant tools which were used to attack naval policy. This thesis places the rich scholarship on representations of the navy before 1688 and after 1739 in a longer context. It explores how institutional and redemptive models of representing the navy developed into potent cultural and political forces when mobilised in the public sphere.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis presents a new analysis of British naval policy before and during the First World War which challenges both orthodox and revisionist interpretations of the period and highlights a highly significant yet much neglected facet of Admiralty planning. It argues that safeguarding the British Isles from invasion was one of the Admiralty’s prime concerns between 1888 and 1918 and that these defensive considerations played a hitherto unappreciated role in shaping British naval strategy. By exploiting source material generally overlooked by previous writers, it demonstrates that, contrary to popular historical belief, Britain’s naval leadership planned extensively to ensure the inviolability of the British coastline during this period. Before 1900, these plans were characterized by relying upon an extensive flotilla of small vessels, supported by a small number of old armoured warships, to secure the position in the Channel and North Sea, while the Navy’s most modern warships focused upon the main French Fleet in the Mediterranean. The Admiralty’s willingness to rely primarily upon flotilla craft for home defence ended after 1900, however, when German displaced France as Britain’s primary naval rival. Germany posed a very different threat to Britain than had previously been the case with France, since it possessed a merchant marine large enough to transport a significant military force without major disruption to the normal operation of its commerce and had her naval forces concentrated in northern waters. Despite the paucity of German planning for the invasion of the United Kingdom, the Admiralty became haunted by the possibility of a ‘surprise’ German invasion attempt, launched before the outset of war and escorted by a strong German Fleet. The Admiralty identified the danger of a surprise German raid or invasion by early 1907 and formed a series of highly secretive plans to deploy the Navy’s most modern armoured warships into the North Sea at the outset of war to meet this danger. These plans were updated constantly between 1910 and 1918 as perceptions of the German threat developed. The nature and extent of these plans has highly significant implications for our understanding of naval policy throughout the period, and for our appreciation of the role of sea power during the First World War.

Abstract:
This thesis concludes that Britain’s longstanding command of the sea was initially terminated in early April 1942 through the culmination of a two-decade process in which the Royal Navy did not keep pace with the rapid evolution of the air weapon at sea. Whereas it is conceded that British strategic sea power became eclipsed by the United States Navy during the second half of the Second World War, the inability of the Royal Navy to compete effectively with Japan’s massed carrier spearhead ended the RN’s capacity to dominate the battlefield itself, a reputation the service had enjoyed since the days of Trafalgar. The material examined will demonstrate how the relative neglect of offensive carrier aviation by the British Admiralty in the interwar period, in concert with unfavourable domestic and international circumstances, resulted in Britain entering the war with a fleet far short of optimum operational readiness. Although it shall be concluded that the Royal Navy successfully engaged its European Axis opponents, it remained in a parlous position if forced to confront an opponent that possessed a superior naval air force, which the Eastern Fleet encountered south of Ceylon from 4-9 April 1942 in the form of the Imperial Japanese Navy’s Kido Butai (Mobile Force), the most formidable concentration of naval airpower yet seen in modern warfare.

Full text
Abstract:
From the middle of the 1880s until the commencement of the Great War 1914-’18 the first-class cruiser was an vital component of the British battlefleet. This was a period in which technology and tactics evolved at an extremely rapid pace, forming the material basis for Sir John Fisher’s ‘Dreadnought Revolution’, in which cruiser qualities of speed, range and offensive power were greatly prized. Throughout this era enormous sums were spent on such types: they were frequently longer than and cost almost as much as their battleship contemporaries, while carrying a near-equivalent armament and possessing significant advantages in both speed and endurance. Despite these capabilities, British first-class cruisers, especially those of the 1890s, are comparatively rarely examined by historians. This thesis fills the gap in the historiography by examining the place and development of the type in the Royal Navy from 1884-1909, and illustrates how they would progress from being a trade-defence vessel, to a genuine alternative to the battleship, and would ultimately form the basic inspiration for all of the service’s first all-big-gun capital ships. It begins by assessing the origins of the type in the mid-Victorian era and considers how the contemporary strategic position and materials drove vessel characteristics, resulting in the development of the first unofficially termed ‘battle-cruisers’ to counter the threat of a Franco-Russian guerre de course employing dedicated raiding types and armed high-speed liners. Following a dramatic advance in the protective capacity of armour that occurred in the mid-1890s, it is shown how the first-class cruiser would gain a fighting ability at least equal to their battleship contemporaries in addition to their continued utility in the trade-defence role, and how latterly, these characteristics would become the cornerstone of Sir John Fisher’s planned radical transformation of the service in the first decade of the 20th Century.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines how the expansion of a steam-powered Royal Navy from the second half of the nineteenth century had wider ramifications across the British Empire. In particular, it considers how steam propulsion made vessels utterly dependent on a particular resource – coal – and its distribution around the world. In doing so, it shows that the ‘coal question’, almost totally ignored in previous histories, was central to questions of imperial and trade defence, required the creation of infrastructures that spanned the globe, and connected British sailors with a plethora of different imperial, maritime, and foreign peoples. Although a limited number of studies have highlighted the importance of coal to imperial defence, this thesis considers the wider context of the period 1870−1914 in order to understand the significant place of coal in these discussions. In doing so, it shows coal’s place within wider changes to political ideologies, imperial defence schemes, popular imperialism and navalism, knowledge collection, and the growth of the state apparatus. A robust coaling infrastructure was required to ensure quality naval coal was available globally on a huge geographical scale. This involved a large number of bodies, but this has never been examined by scholars for this period. Although naval coaling relied heavily on the coal export industry, the Admiralty had a key role in ensuring that the infrastructure, particularly after 1880, could cope with increases in ship size and number and competition from its rivals. The thesis also shows how these processes worked on the ground, from testing and purchasing coal to the methods and labour used to load in on warships. The thesis also shows that the necessity of coaling in foreign stations fostered new interactions between naval personnel and the wider world. Although naval visits to these places are prime examples of British encounters beyond its own shores at the zenith of empire, these are largely absent from existing studies. Thus, it explores how the interactions with local populations, other maritime visitors, and the stations themselves shaped the experience of sailors abroad, and created a maritime community spanning large oceanic spaces.

‘An ad hoc navy: the Revolutionary War (1775–1783)’ describes the Patriots’ response to the British Royal Navy strongholds in Boston and New York and the role of armed vessels during the Revolutionary War. It begins with George Washington’s attempts to threaten the British supply line using boats. The Continental Navy was founded on October 13, 1775, but the new program could hardly challenge the Royal Navy. With the exception of John Paul Jones, the Continental Navy proved mostly disappointing. The United States won its independence largely because the determination of the Patriot forces outlasted the British willingness to fight—and to pay for—a war three thousand miles away.

The Royal Navy (RN) has in-service experience of both marinised industrial and aero derivative propulsion gas turbines since the late 1940’s. Operating through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the British, Dutch, French and Belgian Navies the current in-service propulsion engines are marinised versions of the Rolls Royce Tyne, Olympus and Spey aero engines. Future gas turbine engines, for the Royal Navy, are expected to be the WR21 (24.5 MW), a 5 to 8 MW engine and a 1 to 2 MW engine in support of the All Electric Ship Project. This paper will detail why the Royal Navy chose gas turbines as prime movers for warships and how Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) guidance has been evaluated and developed in order to extend engine life. It will examine how the fleet of engines has historically been provisioned for and how a modular engine concept has allowed less support provisioning. The paper will detail the planned utilisation of advanced cycle gas turbines with their inherent higher thermal efficiency and environmental compliance and the case for all electric propulsion utilising high speed gas turbine alternators. It will examine the need for greater reliability / availability allowing single generator operation at sea and how by using a family of 3 engines a nearly flat Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) down to harbour loads can be achieved.

Abstract:
Abstract Navies worldwide are increasingly considering and adopting propulsion plants with electric propulsion for cruise and ship silent operation, and gas turbines for boost propulsion for high speed. These propulsion plants, often referred to as hybrid propulsion, utilize water jets, controllable pitch propellers, or fixed pitch propellers, and have design and overall configuration to fit into naval ships with various size hulls such as would be the case with corvettes, frigates, destroyers, cruisers, etc. Therefore, size, weight, and space of the propulsion plant is important, but equally important is limiting associated machinery which must be used with a particular hybrid propulsion plant design selected. In addition, propulsion design engineers, in conjunction with naval architects, shipyards and navies, must consider fuel efficiencies, machinery efficiencies, weight of all the associated machinery, placement in the hull, first time cost, and life cycle maintenance with associated cost when selecting the configuration of the propulsion system’s associated machinery. Manning levels are dictated by these parameters and in the end, it must be realized that the purpose of the ship mission can be compromised if reliability is not high and premature failures occur. This paper is a more in depth analysis of hybrid propulsion systems for naval ships of various sizes, and analysis of the associate machinery emphasizing ship weight and space savings, fuel savings, cost savings, mean time between failures and mean time to repair which results in lower manning requirements and increased mission readiness. By the time this paper is published, more than 250 SSS Clutches will be installed in US Navy Arleigh Burke Destroyers, 32 are operating in low speed propeller shafts of British Navy Type 23 ships, 2 in the Japanese Navy’s Asuka Class and 16 in low speed propeller shafts of Royal Korean Navy FFX Batch II frigates. At the time of abstract submission, all three programs referenced above have cumulatively had zero defects attributable to SSS Clutch material, function, design, or quality. While the US Navy are given occasional reminders of why alternative clutch designs remain ineffective, unreliable and remarkedly inefficient, other nations’ vertically tiered supply chains and inexperienced engineers are shielded from similar issues.

Abstract:
On August 1, 1963, the first two Canadian Sea King helicopters arrived at their new home station, Shearwater, Nova Scotia and joined the Royal Canadian Navy. On Saturday, December 1, 2018, three Canadian Sea King helicopters, now part of the Royal Canadian Air Force, made their final flight over their home station at Patricia Bay, British Columbia. This paper outlines some of the highlights of the intervening 55 years with particular emphasis on procurement and fleet introduction, the helicopter's rapid change of roles from dedicated anti-submarine warfare helicopter to a general-purpose surveillance platform for the First Gulf War and finally, the truly amazing accomplishments of the Canadian Sea Kings in the year 2010. It is worth bearing in mind that although the personnel may have changed and the roles and equipment of the aircraft have been modified, the requirement to provide ‘Wings for the Fleet’ has remained constant over the years.

Abstract:
The acoustic signature of an Orca-class training vessel (Patrol Craft Training, PCT) Moose from the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) was measured at the RCN’s Patricia Bay acoustic range on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The acoustic range trials included accelerometer measurements on the ship hull and in the engine room and hydrophone measurements at approximately 100 m from the ship. The trials were carried out at the ship speed range of 3 to 20 knots. The test data from all the trial runs was used to derive, evaluate and validate the method of estimating ship underwater radiated noise from onboard vibrations. In the investigation, the runs were split into two sets: a training set and a testing set. A least squares approximation, AQV (average quadratic velocity) SL (source level) correlation, was then applied to the training set data to formulate a transfer function to estimate the underwater radiated noise from onboard vibrations. The AQV is calculated from accelerometer measurements (vibration levels) and SL is obtained from the hydrophone measurements. The third octave frequency band (from 10 Hz to 10 kHz) SL estimations of the testing set runs (using the transfer function and AQV) are within 1 to 3 dB of SL from the hydrophone measurements. This study demonstrates a capability of monitoring underwater radiated noise from ships using only onboard vibration levels which may be of interest for future projects relating to the reduction of shipping noise against a threshold in acoustically sensitive environments.

Abstract:
This paper addresses some of the wider issues in the design process for complex vessels with regards in particular to the design of naval ships and submarines. The presentation is given from the perspective of a British naval constructor, who spent the second half of his career teaching and researching into the design of complex vessels. This is presented to SNAME drawing on parallels with US Navy design practice from the author’s personal involvement in the design history of many of the designs that were built for the Royal Navy. A large number of the author’s publications have not been exposed directly to a SNAME audience so this paper compares and contrasts UK practice with that revealed particularly in the publications of the former Technical Director NAVSEA –Robert Keane – and his several co-authors. The paper’s title is deliberately contrived in its alliteration commencing with a phrase taken from an early critique of systems engineering by an eminent British naval constructor, querying whether systems engineering could provide the philosophical basis for modern naval ship design (NSD). The third “B” is considered to be a key technical characteristic in designing such complex systems, that of achieving a balanced design. In this regard the paper questions why the other major stakeholders in NSD, including collaborating engineers other than naval architects, seem to have such difficulty in appreciating the nature of ship design, particularly in the crucial early stages when most critical design decisions are made. The author draws upon a major paper published in 2018 in the RINA Transactions together with its written discussion by Robert Keane among others. A major point made in that paper is that not all designs follow the same process – in fact every new design is different and therefore the applicability of any process needs to be challenged. However, the intent of the current paper is to go beyond the largely technical argument of the 2018 paper by addressing the wider “fuzzy” half of ship design, in particular regarding the environment in which such “sophisticated” design is undertaken. Furthermore the consequences for the resulting vessels from such a constrained and often fraught process and professional practice are relevant to achieving the final complex design entity. The paper concludes by considering essential design engineering demands can be balanced with the pragmatic necessities of the design practice driven by the imperatives of the wider design environment and engineering practice. This consideration draws on not just the many and varied naval vessel projects the author has been involved in but also the subsequent research activities in the last two decades at University College London, where the UK naval constructors are trained in ship and submarine design. This leads on to considering how future research into complex ship design can be sustained through a mix of academic and practitioner collaboration. Finally, consideration is given to the complexities of the design environment and changing practices regarding how the profession of naval architecture can ensure future naval architects are best equipped to manage such complex ship and submarine designs. This applies not just in the Concept Phase but also through life as naval architecture is the only engineering discipline that can truly exercise design authority for such complex systems.
