Strike from the Sea The Development and Deployment of Strategic Cruise Missiles since 1934

BY NORMAN POLMAR AND JOHN O’CONNELL

The cruise missile—also referred to as a guided missile—is a widely employed tactical and strategic weapon, capable of striking ground or ship targets with conventional or nuclear warheads. Before the development of ballistic missiles for attacking an enemy’s territory, the U.S. and Soviet strategic arsenals had land-attack cruise missiles to deliver nuclear warheads. Subsequently, the U.S. and Soviet navies, as well as other fleets, developed tactical anti-ship and anti-submarine cruise missiles.

Strike from the Sea addresses the U.S. Navy’s Regulus missile program—the world’s first submarine weapon for attacking an enemy homeland with a nuclear warhead—and the similar Soviet navy’s cruise missile efforts. Prior to Regulus a few of the world’s submarines had deck guns that were employed for assaulting coastal targets; indeed, the British built a class of “submarine monitors” with large-caliber guns for attacking coastal targets.

The U.S. Navy’s rapid and successful development of the Polaris Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM) and budgetary constraints caused the cancellation of advanced submarine-launched cruise missiles—the Regulus II as well as the follow-on Rigel and Triton. Submarines armed with the Regulus I missile continued on patrols in the North Pacific until mid-1964, when they were replaced on the “deterrent” role by Polaris missile submarines. The Soviet navy continued the development and deployment of anti-ship cruise missiles, which retained some land-attack capabilities.

NORMAN POLMAR is an analyst, consultant, and author specializing in naval, aviation, and intelligence subjects. He has served as an advisor/consultant to three U.S. Senators, the Speaker of the House, and three Secretaries of the Navy. He has written or co-authored more than fifty published books, including four editions of Guide to the Soviet Navy and nine editions of Ships and Aircraft of the U.S. Fleet. He has served in the Secretary of the Navy’s Research Advisory Board and served as chairman of the Science and Technology Advisory Board of the Department of Homeland Security.

As a naval officer, JOHN O’CONNELL, served in an aircraft carrier and heavy cruiser, and, subsequently, twenty-two years in submarines, including a Regulus missile submarine, and commanded a submarine and a submarine division. He served as U.S. Defense and Naval Attache in Tokyo from 1978 to 1981. O’Connell authored three books on air power and two books on submarines and served as a docent at the National Air and Space Museum for two decades.

Selected Photos from the Archives of the Kure Maritime Museum, The Best from the Collection of Shizuo Fukui’s Photos of Japanese Warships EDITED BY THE KURE MARITIME MUSEUM AND KAZUSHIGE TODAKA; TRANSLATED BY ROBERT D. ELDRIDGE WITH GRAHAM B. LEONARD

Originally published in Japan in 2005, each album in The Japanese Naval Warship photo album series contains official photographs taken by the Kure Maritime Museum, as well as those taken by private individuals. These pictorial records document the main types of Japanese vessels, from battleships to submarines, based on the best images from Shizuo Fukui, a former Imperial Japanese Navy commander and technician. These photos include the ones Fukui began collecting as a young boy and continued after he worked as a naval shipbuilder, and those that he was given in order to complete a photographic history of the Imperial Japanese Navy’s ships, which include those gathered by Nagamura Kiyoshi, a shipbuilder who proactively collected photos, and the collection of machinist Amari Yoshiyuki. Moreover, with the help of shipbuilder Makino Shigeru, among others, Fukui was able to continue to gather photographs and other items throughout the postwar period. It is not an exaggeration, therefore, to say that Fukui dedicated his entire life to this work.

These images are especially valuable because of the massive destruction of official documents at the end of the war.

THE KURE MARITIME MUSEUM (also known as the Yamato Museum) is located in Kure City, Hiroshima Province. Its collection focuses on the people and culture of Kure, as well as its industries, primarily shipbuilding and steelmaking. The museum houses more than twenty thousand Imperial Japanese Navy photos.

KAZUSHIGE TODAKA, the director the Kure Maritime Museum, is the coauthor of several books on the Japanese navy.

ROBERT D. ELDRIDGE is the author of dozens of books in English and Japanese on U.S.-Japanese relations, Okinawa, and Japanese politics. He received a PhD in political science from Kobe University. He resides with his family in Japan.

COSSAC

BY STEPHEN C. KEPHER

Lt. Gen. Sir Frederick Morgan and the Genesis of Operation OVERLORD “In the literature on the Normandy landing there is little on preliminaries beyond the Roosevelt-Churchill dispute on the desirability of the invasion and the deception of the Gremans about its location. Here is a thoroughly researched account of the planning process led by General Morgan that provided the basis for OVERLORD.” —Gerhard L. Weinberg, author of A World at Arms: A Global History of World War II; William Rand Kenan Jr. Professor of History Emeritus, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill When Frederick Morgan was appointed COSSAC (Chief of Staff to the Supreme Allied Commander) in the spring of 1943, there was no approved plan for a cross-Channel attack and no commander. There was not even agreement about when the re-entry into the Continent would occur. The Western Allies were in the midst of a great debate about the strategy or strategies to defeat Nazi Germany.

COSSAC’s primary task was to create a plan that would be approved by the inter-allied Combined Chiefs of Staff. To gain that authorization, Morgan had to decide where the attack was to take place, address the need for improvised shelters for the transport ships until a port could be captured; create all the structure necessary for a multi-national force that would liberate countries, not occupy them; and convince his superiors that it could be done with the limited forces they were willing to provide.

COSSAC presents a new interpretation of Morgan’s vital contributions to the development of the OVERLORD plan by exploring his leadership, his unorthodox approach to problem-solving, and his willingness to disregard or modify orders he thought wrong. By constantly taking the initiative to move the discussions forward, Morgan secured the needed political approval of a concept for the Normandy landings that Montgomery and Eisenhower would modify into the D-Day operational plan.

Assured Destruction

BY DAVID W. BATH

Building the Ballistic Missile Culture of the U.S. Air Force

Assured Destruction: Building the Ballistic Missile Culture of the U.S. Air Force documents the rapid development of nuclear ballistic missiles in the United States and their equally swift demise after the Cuban Missile Crisis, revealing how these drastic changes negatively influenced both the Air Force and the missile community. David W. Bath contends that the struggle to create and control nuclear ballistic missiles threatened both the dominance of the United States during an intensifying Cold War and the strategic airpower mission of the newly created Air Force.

This book details the efforts to create and prepare a missile arsenal before the Cuban Missile Crisis, which occurred only five years after the first missile was declared operational. It uses the personal recollections of former missileers and the professional military education theses they wrote to highlight some of the concerns that have faced the missileers who operated and worked on these powerful weapons from 1957 to the present. The highlights are, however, the personal stories of the missileers who served during the missile crisis, revealing the efforts that they went to in order to prepare these unique and untried weapons for what many thought might become the third world war.

Whaling Captains of Color

BY SKIP FINLEY

America’s First Meritocracy The history of whaling as an industry on this continent has been well-told in books, including some that have been bestsellers, but what hasn’t been told is the story of whaling’s leaders of color in an era when the only other option was slavery. Whaling was one of the first American industries to exhibit diversity. A man became a captain not because he was white or well connected, but because he knew how to kill a whale.

Along the way, he could learn navigation and reading and writing. Whaling presented a tantalizing alternative to mainland life.

Working with archival records at whaling museums, in libraries, from private archives and interviews with people whose ancestors were whaling masters, Finley culls stories from the lives of over fifty black whaling captains to create a portrait of what life was like for these leaders of color on the high seas.

Each time a ship spotted a whale, a group often including the captain would jump into a small boat, row to the whale, and attack it, at times with the captain delivering the killing blow. The first, second, or third mate and boat steerer could eventually have opportunities to move into increasingly responsible roles. Finley explains how this skills-based system propelled captains of color to the helm.

The book concludes as facts and factions conspire to kill the industry, including wars, weather, bad management, poor judgment, disease, obsolescence, and a non-renewable natural resource. Ironically, the end of the Civil War allowed the African Americans who were captains to exit the difficult and dangerous occupation—and make room for the Cape Verdean who picked up the mantle, literally to the end of the industry.

SKIP FINLEY is a former broadcasting executive who was responsible for over forty U.S. radio stations and experienced success in all areas of radio. Attempting retirement since age fifty, he keeps returning to communications, currently in marketing at the Vineyard Gazette Media Group on Martha’s Vineyard, where he summered since 1955.

For five years Finley wrote the weekly Oak Bluffs Town Column and is a contributor to several publications in the areas of whaling and history.

“Much more than a prodigious work of scholarship, Whaling Captains of Color is also an entertaining read that puts the focus where it properly belongs: on the multicultural essence of a fishery that spanned the globe. Highly recommended.”

—Nathaniel Philbrick, author of In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex

The Stringbags

WRITTEN BY GARTH ENNIS DRAWN BY PJ HOLDEN; COLORED BY KELLY FITZPATRICK; LETTERED BY ROB STEEN

If you do the incredible often enough, they’ll want you to do the impossible.

Based on the true story of the Royal Navy’s Swordfish crews, The Stringbags is an epic tale of young men facing death in an aircraft almost out of time.

Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, and Fascist Italy began World War II with torpedo bombers that could devastate enemy warships and merchantmen at will. Britain’s Royal Navy squadrons went to war equipped with the Fairey Swordfish.

A biplane torpedo bomber in an age of monoplanes, the Swordfish was underpowered and under-gunned; an obsolete museum piece, an embarrassment. Its crews fully expected to be shot from the skies. Instead, they flew the ancient “Stringbag” into legend.

Writer Garth Ennis and artist PJ Holden present the story of the men who crewed the Swordfish: from their triumphs against the Italian Fleet at Taranto and the mighty German battleship Bismarck in the Atlantic, to the deadly challenge of the Channel Dash in the bleak winter waters of their homeland. They lived as they flew, without a second to lose—and the greatest tributes to their courage would come from the enemy who strove to kill them.

GARTH ENNIS has been writing comics since 1989. Credits include Preacher, The Boys

(both adapted for TV), Hitman and successful runs on The Punisher and Fury for Marvel Comics. He is particularly known for his war comics, including War Stories, Battlefields, Out of the Blue, Sara, and a recent revival of the classic British series Johnny Red. Originally from Northern Ireland, Ennis now lives in New York City with his wife, Ruth.

“Stringbags is, like the best wellX X researched military history, Xdelivered with genuine heart— something Garth Ennis excels at. A gripping underdog tale filled with X spectacle and tragedy, featuring X career-best art from PJ Holden.”

—Rob Williams, author of Judge Dredd and Unfollow “Highly recommended for lovers of damn good stories.”

PJ HOLDEN is a Belfast-based comic artist. Best known for his work for 2000AD on Judge Dredd, over the last twenty years he’s also drawn Rogue Trooper, Robocop/Terminator, James Bond: M, World of Tanks, and Battlefields. He is the co-creator of Dept. of Monsterology and Numbercruncher. He is married to Annette and has two children, Thomas and Nathan.

KELLY FITZPATRICK is a Hugo-nominated comic book colorist and illustrator. She has worked on everything from Kickstarter and indie publications to DC graphic novels.

Kelly spends all of her free time doting on her dog, Archie as well as training dogs, doing yoga and aerial acrobatics, and self-publishing her own books.

ROB STEEN has lettered comics for all major comic book companies. He is also the

illustrator of the children’s book series Flanimals, written by Ricky Gervais, and Erf, written by Garth Ennis.

Churchill

WRITTEN BY VINCENT DELMAS ILLUSTRATED BY CHRISTOPHE REGNAULT AND ALESSIO CAMMARDELLA; FOREWORD BY ANDREW ROBERTS

A Graphic Biography

Sir Winston Churchill is often referred to as the greatest Briton and is certainly one of the most important and central figures of the 20th century. Containing both his many pitfalls and triumphs, this graphic biography follows Churchill’s upbringing, through his military exploits in World War I and beyond. Best known for his role in World War II, Churchill presents the Prime Minister’s part in this world-changing conflict and how his handling of it turned him into a political icon.

Leading Churchill historian Andrew Roberts contributes additional insight in the foreword and historian François Kersaudy provides a new English-language introduction to provide greater background and supplementary knowledge.

Churchill is a unique depiction of the life of Winston Churchill that places his story in the context of the times while enabling the reader to truly visualize the key moments in his life and career.

VINCENT DELMAS writes for television, film, and comics. Notably, he is co-author of Charlemagne in the collection Ils ont fait l’Histoire and scriptwriter of the series Synchrone, published by Lombard.

CHRISTOPHE REGNAULT, also known as “Bis,” illustrates role playing games (2d sans face), works for various educational comics and for the gaming publications Dofus Mag and IGMag. He published Chasseurs de Scoops in September 2012 with Glénat, for whom in 2014 he inaugurated collection Ils ont fait l'Histoire by illustrating King Philip IV, “Philip the Fair.”

ANDREW ROBERTS is a British historian and journalist. He was awarded the Wolfson History Prize for Salisbury: Victorian Titan (1999). His modern works have focused on World War II figures, and his work was the basis for the BBC series Hitler and Churchill (2013). He won the 2010 British Army Military Book of the Year for The Storm of War: A New History of the Second World War (2009) and the Prix du Jury des Grand Prix de la Fondation Napoléon in 2014 for Standpoint.

Atlas at War!

EDITED BY MICHAEL J. VASSALLO ART RESTORATION BY ALLAN HARVEY

Atlas at War! collects fifty hard-hitting stories from Atlas Comics, the company that became Marvel Comics and published more war titles than anyone in the industry between the years 1951 and 1960.

Comics historian Dr. Michael J. Vassallo has chosen the best of the best, many of which are coming back into print for the first time, from sixteen different Atlas war titles and featuring the artwork of twenty different artists—giants of the genre, including Russ Heath, John Severin, Bernie Krigstein, Joe Maneely, Jerry Robinson, Steve Ditko, and Jack Kirby. Each page has been meticulously restored from its first printing by comic art restorer Allan Harvey.

Atlas at War! covers the brutal pre-code period where graphic depictions of war action were rendered by artists who were World War II veterans themselves, as well as the post-code period, where code restrictions forced creators to tell stories without graphic violence but produced some of the most beautiful comic art of the genre.

In addition to the artists, stories cover all aspects of war—from famous campaigns, weaponry, and personal soldier stories to political topics, Nazi atrocities, and even one story tinged with pre-code horror! Often overlooked in favor of its competitors, Atlas at War! will finally show that Atlas’ war titles were second to no one.

U-Boat Commander Oskar Kusch Anatomy of a Nazi-Era Betrayal and Judicial Murder

BY ERIC C. RUST To his enlisted men on U-154, Lieutenant Oskar Kusch was the ideal skipper—bright, experienced, successful, caring, tolerably eccentric—and a popular captain who always brought his boat home safely when so many others vanished without a trace. To most of his officers Kusch came across as someone very different—a Nazi-hating intellectual with an artistic bent given to lengthy criticisms of the regime, its leaders, and its propaganda, a suspected coward, and potential traitor unfit for command. Early in 1944, after his second patrol under Kusch, his executive officer, a reservist with a doctorate in law and member of the Nazi party, denounced him on charges of sedition and cowardice.

A hastily arranged court-martial cleared Kusch of the cowardice accusation but sentenced him to death on purely ideological grounds for “undermining the fighting spirit” of his boat.

Abandoned by all but his closest friends and relatives, coldly sacrificed by Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz, unwilling to plead for mercy, and to the end tormented by a naval legal bureaucracy acting in collusion with the brown regime, Oskar Kusch was executed in May 1944.

This study, the first scholarly work on Kusch in English, traces his career and ordeal from his upbringing in Berlin to his tragic death and beyond, including the fifty-year struggle to rehabilitate his name and restore his honor in a postwar Germany long loath to confront the darker dimensions of its past.

ERIC C. RUST, a native of Lübeck, Germany, and a veteran of the Bundesmarine, holds a doctorate from the University of Texas at Austin. He has been a professor of history at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, since 1984. His research focuses on German maritime and naval history, especially submarine warfare.

The Emergence of American Amphibious Warfare, 1898–1945

BY DAVID S. NASCA The Emergence of American Amphibious Warfare, 1898–1945 examines how the United States became a military superpower through the use of amphibious operations. While other major world powers pursued and embraced different weapons and technologies to create different means of waging war, the United States was one of the few countries that spent decades training, developing, and employing amphibious warfare to pursue its national interests.

Commonly seen as dangerous and costly, amphibious warfare was carefully modernized, refined, and promoted within American political and military circles for years by a small motley group of military mavericks, intellectuals, innovators, and crackpots. This generational cast of underdogs and unlikely heroes were able to do the impossible by predicting and convincing America’s leadership how the United States should fight World War II. DAVID S. NASCA graduated from Longwood University. He holds graduate degrees

in international relations, diplomacy, history, military studies, and national security from several universities as well as a PhD from Salve Regina University. He proudly followed in the footsteps of his father by serving in the U.S. Marine Corps. He lives in Woodbridge, Virginia.

On Obedience

BY PAULINE SHANKS KAURIN

Contrasting Philosophies for the Military, Citizenry, and Community This book is designed to be an in-depth and nuanced philosophical treatment of the virtue of obedience in the context of the professional military and the broader civilian political community, including the general citizenry. The nature and components of obedience are critical factors leading to further discussions of the moral obligations related to obedience, as well as the related practical issues and implications. Pauline Shanks Kaurin seeks to address the following questions: What is obedience? Is it a virtue, and if it is, why? What are the moral grounds of obedience? Why ought military members and citizens be obedient? Are there times that one ought not be obedient? Why? How should we think about obedience in contemporary political communities?

In answering these questions, On Obedience draws on arguments and materials from a variety of disciplines including classical studies, philosophy, history, international relations, literature, and military studies, with a particular focus on cases and examples to illustrate the conceptual points. While a major focus of the book is the question of obedience in the contemporary military context, many similar issues and considerations apply to other political communities, and in particular, citizens in a nation-state.

“The status of the military profession is balanced on the relationship with its citizenry. In On Obedience, Dr. Shanks Kaurin addresses this critical, but poorly understood concept. It is truly a book for our time, readdressing the questions of honor and obedience situated in today’s complex political environment.”

PAULINE SHANKS KAURIN holds a PhD in hilosophy from Temple University, specializing in military ethics, just war theory, and applied ethics. She is also Professor of Professional Military Ethics at the U.S. Naval War College. Recent publications include: “When Less is not More: Expanding the Combatant/Non-Combatant Distinction,” “With Fear and Trembling: A Qualified Defense of Non-Lethal Weapons,” and The Warrior, Military Ethics and Contemporary Warfare: Achilles Goes Asymmetrical (Routledge 2014.)

A Navy Admiral’s Bronze Rules Managing Risk and Leadership

BY REAR ADM. DAVE OLIVER, USN (RET.) A Navy Admiral’s Bronze Rules uses case studies to explore the inherent risks of leadership and the tools available to those who nevertheless wish to take those chances. Dave Oliver uses real world examples that inevitably expose hitherto unrevealed history.

These include a secret of the Yom Kippur War, the background of the 1986 bloodless revolution in the Philippines, how Adm. Bud Zumwalt was such a unique chief of naval operations, why our National War Plan suddenly had to be revised during the Reagan years, and what spurred President Clinton’s anti-nuclear proliferation success.

REAR ADM. DAVE OLIVER, USN (RET.), graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and had a thirty-two-year career in the Navy, serving at sea on board submarines. After leaving the Navy, he also served in both the Clinton and Bush administrations and in industry as CEO of EADS North America Defense Company and as an executive at Northrop Grumman and Westinghouse.

The Atlantic War Remembered An Oral History Collection

BY REV. JOHN T. MASON JR. From the U-boat-plagued convoys in the North Atlantic to the beaches of Normandy and the Big Three Conference at Yalta, twenty-eight men and women here relive their experiences in the Allied defeat of Hitler. Drawn from a vast collection of oral histories recorded by John T. Mason Jr., between 1960 and 1982, these extraordinary eyewitness accounts are readily available once again to the public.

Through an invasion commander’s binoculars and a frogman’s face mask, readers share the horror, grit, and humor of combat. With unqualified realism Adm. H. Kent Hewitt describes the landing at French Morocco, America’s first major amphibious operation, and Capt. Phil H. Bucklew recalls how one of his beach scouts at Sicily held a flashlight to mark invasion lanes while backed up against a German pillbox firing a machine gun over his head. The home front gets equal attention, for here, too, are the stories of those who supported the war effort in the United States. These and other personal narratives presented make memorable reading and give far more insights into historic events than most scholarly analyses.

JOHN T. MASON JR. (1909–98) was a trained historian with an advanced degree from

George Washington University. He was also an Episcopal priest and graduate of General Theological Seminary. In 1969, Mason established an oral history program at the U.S. Naval Institute, and it soon led to one of the most extensive collections of naval oral history transcripts in the country. In 1982, he retired as director of the Naval Institute Oral History Program, which continues to carry on his legacy today.

The NROTC Guide

BY VADM PETER H. DALY, USN (RET.), CDR MICAH D. MURPHY, USN, AND LT BRENDAN E. CORDIAL, USN The NROTC Guide is the authoritative, first-to-market comprehensive guide to all aspects of the NROTC program. Written specifically for the audience most important to the health and vibrancy of the program—talented young people potentially interested in a career as an officer in the naval service. On an average year, the NROTC program commissions almost a quarter of the Navy’s active-duty officer accessions, approximately equal to the number commissioned by the U.S. Naval Academy.

While myriad works exist describing the Annapolis experience, there is currently no book-format guide to the NROTC program, the application process, college life as an NROTC midshipman, commissioning options, or other concerns. Thus, this guide fills an information gap in an increasingly competitive market for America’s talented youth.

A Quest for Glory A Biography of Rear Admiral John A. Dahlgren

BY ROBERT J. SCHNELLER JR. To win glory and power, to be renowned throughout posterity—such was the ambition that fueled John A. Dahlgren’s controversial rise to eminence during the Civil War era. While he ranks with the foremost contributors to the American naval tradition and is known as the “father of American naval ordnance,” personal conflicts and the lack of major victories at sea nearly obscured his historic legacy. Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance in 1862, Dahlgren was recognized as the top ordnance expert in America and was known around the world. He achieved this reputation largely for inventing the Dahlgren gun, the most powerful and reliable naval cannon of its day and the standard armament on Union warships. But because ordnance work did not yield the glory he so desperately desired, he abandoned the post of bureau chief for a fighting berth. With the help of friend Abraham Lincoln, he took command of the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron—only to preside over the Navy’s greatest disappointment during the war, the failure to capture Charleston. Drawing on Dahlgren’s meticulously kept diaries and records and recently uncovered family papers, author Robert Schneller describes with a biographer’s sensitivity and a historian’s perspective the admiral’s many technical triumphs as well as the plots, duels, intrigues, and betrayals that plagued Dahlgren’s life.

ROBERT J. SCHNELLER JR. received a PhD in military history from Duke University.

He worked more than twenty years as an official historian at the Naval History and Heritage Command in Washington D.C. An award-winning author, Schneller published eight books during his career. He is now retired and living in northeastern Pennsylvania.

Journey to Peking A Secret Agent in Wartime China

BY DAN PINCK “Wonderfully evocative of Northern Guangdong during the war and Peking afterwards. . . a page turner.”

—Journal of Military History Readers with a penchant for real-life cloak and dagger stories won’t be disappointed with this memoir. Dan Pinck’s World War II adventures behind the Japanese lines in war-torn China resulted in vital information being passed along to the Allies and his up close-and-personal look at the world of covert military operations will fascinate many. Pinck ignores the glamour of typical spy stories to give a totally candid view of events with an engaging style and self-deprecating wit. Just nineteen years old when he volunteered for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), he was assigned to an area near Hong Kong where he worked with some twenty local agents. The sole American agent in the area, Pinck coordinated the gathering of information about troop movements and shipping along the Japanese-held coast, efforts that resulted in the sinking of several enemy ships. Prior to Japan’s surrender he was mapping Japanese coastal emplacements in the area where an American invasion was scheduled.

DAN PINCK (1924–2019) served behind enemy lines in China with the Office of Stra-

tegic Services. Following the war, he worked for A.J. Liebling at The New Yorker. He worked for Harvard, M.I.T. and Tufts University, consulted on education, and wrote extensively about his experiences during the war.

20th Century Passenger Flying Boats

Armoured Cruiser Cressy Detailed in the Original Builders’ Plans

BY ANDREW CHOONG The subject of this volume is best known for the disaster of 22 September 1914 where Cressy and two sister-ships, Aboukir and Hogue, were sunk with great loss of life by a single small submarine in little more than an hour. Having been overtaken by the rapid advance of naval technology in the fifteen years since their construction, the cruisers were regarded as obsolete and employed on a task for which they were never intended. However, in their day they were powerful and innovative ships, with a significant impact on the way the armored cruiser developed. This becomes clear from the analysis of the plans included in this book, which thus presents an original and more positive view of these ships that will enlighten— and perhaps surprise—many naval historians and enthusiasts.

ANDREW CHOONG is the Curator of Historic Photos and Ships’ Plans at the National Maritime Museum’s outstation at the Brass Foundry in Woolwich. He was also closely involved in the publication of the monumental seven volumes of the Perkins identification series, for which he wrote the introduction.

Battle in the Baltic

The Royal Navy and the Fight to Save Estonia and Latvia, 1918–1920

BY STEVE R. DUNN Though for most participants World War I ended on 11 November 1918, the Royal Navy found itself, despite four years of slaughter and war weariness, fighting a fierce and brutal battle in the Baltic Sea against Bolshevik Russia in an attempt to protect the fragile independence of the newly liberated states of Estonia and Latvia. This new book by Steve R. Dunn describes the events of those two years when Royal Navy ships and men, under the command of Rear Admiral Alexander-Sinclair, found themselves in a maelstrom of chaos and conflicting loyalties, and facing multiple opponents. Today few people are aware of this exhausting campaign and the sacrifices made

by Royal Navy sailors, but the pages of this book retell their exciting but forgotten stories.

STEVE R. DUNN is an author with a special interest in the Royal Navy of the late nineteenth century and World War I. He has written biographies and narrative histories, most recently Blockade, Securing the Narrow Sea, Bayly’s War, and Southern Thunder.

Black Swan Class Sloops Detailed in the Original Builders’ Plans

BY LES BROWN This volume is devoted to the sloops of the Black Swan class and its improved derivatives, widely regarded as the “Rolls-Royce” of World War II convoy escorts. Heavily armed and superbly equipped for their role, they were among the most effective anti-submarine ships of the battle in the Atlantic. The design was gradually improved and this book uses plans of four selected ships to chart that development. These comprise: Black Swan as built; Flamingo as modified later; Starling, the single most successful U-boat hunter of the war, as in 1943; and Amethyst, as refitted after her clash with Chinese communists on the Yangtze in 1949.

LES BROWN is a leading light in the Small Warships Group of the IPMS and the editor of their newsletter. He is the author of a number of titles in the ShipCraft series, including two on British destroyers, and, with John Lambert, he produced two larger volumes, one on Flower-class corvettes and another on Allied torpedo boats.

Carrier Battles

Catastrophe at Spithead

BY DOUGLAS V. SMITH

BY HILARY L. RUBINSTEIN

Carrier Battles considers the transformation of the U.S. Navy from a defensive-minded coastal defense force into an offensive risk-taking navy in the very early stages of World War II. Noting that none of the Navy’s most significant World War II leaders were commissioned before the Spanish-American War and none participated in any important offensive operations in World War I, Douglas Smith examines the premise that education, rather than experience in battle, accounts for that transformation.

In one of the most sensational and perplexing incidents in naval history, Rear Admiral Richard Kempenfelt, a much-voyaged veteran and outstanding officer, drowned along with more than eight hundred crew and many civilian visitors on a calm summer’s morning and in a familiar anchorage. This new work examines that tragedy—the sudden capsizing at Spithead on 29 August 1782 of the mighty flagship HMS Royal George.

Command Decision in Harm’s Way

In this book, Smith evaluates his premise by focusing on the five carrier battles of World War II to determine the extent to which the inter-war education of the major operational commanders translated into their decision processes, and the extent that their interaction during their educational experiences transformed them from risk-adverse to riskaccepting in their operational concepts.

DOUGLAS V. SMITH is Professor of Strategy and Head of the strategy and policy division at the U.S. Naval War College. He is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Naval Postgraduate School, and Naval War College, and holds a PhD in military history from Florida State University.

The Sinking of the Royal George

This is the first comprehensive account of the calamity and is based on a wide variety of contemporary sources, including reports by survivors and eyewitnesses. Catastrophe at Spithead will bring to a new audience an extraordinary tale from the heyday of Britain’s naval power.

HILARY L. RUBINSTEIN has spent a lifetime writing on British naval history during the age of sail. She has a PhD in history from the Australian National University and is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society; she was a former Council member of the Navy Records Society and edited the Society’s newsletter. She also contributed to Nelson’s Band of Brothers: Their Lives and Memorials, edited by Peter Hore.

Eagles over the Sea, 1943–45 A History of Luftwaffe Maritime Operations

BY LAWRENCE PATERSON This is the second volume of Lawrence Paterson’s detailed account of all the Luftwaffe’s naval operations. The first volume took the story up to 1942, when Hermann Göring’s Reich Air Ministry had subsumed nearly every aspect of Wehrmacht maritime aviation. Kriegsmarine attempts to develop an independent Fleet Air Arm had been perpetually frustrated, reflecting the chaotic nature of the Third Reich’s internal military and political mechanics. Driven more by vanity than operational prudence, the Luftwaffe had continually thwarted the advancement of maritime aviation, and by 1942 began to reap the whirlwind it had created.

Heavily illustrated throughout, this detailed and exciting narrative will be of huge appeal to both naval and aviation historians and enthusiasts.

LAWRENCE PATERSON has spent many years researching aspects of German naval operations and has written more than ten books on various aspects of the Kreigsmarine.

From the Battlefield to the Big Screen Famous Actors of the Second World War

BY MELODY FOREMAN When Richard Todd played the part of Maj. John Howard in the 1962 epic The Longest Day, he was reliving his own wartime experiences as one of the first British officers to parachute into Normandy on D-Day to capture Pegasus Bridge.

Among the many familiar figures of TV and cinema who fought for their country are Sir Dirk Bogarde, who arrived at a secret location in Normandy just after D-Day to carry out vital aerial photographic interpretation exercises with the Royal Canadian Air Force, and Audie Murphy, who lied about his age to enlist after the attack on Pearl Harbor and went on to become America’s most decorated soldier of the war.

We have all admired the stars for the pleasure they have brought to our lives, but the true stories of these people we know so well are far more evocative than any part they played on the silver screen.

Sovereign of the Seas, 1637

Spoils of War

BY JOHN MCKAY

BY AIDAN DODSON AND SERENA CANT

Sovereign of the Seas was the most spectacular, extravagant, and controversial warship of the early seventeenth century. The ultimate royal prestige project, whose armament was increased by the King’s decree to the unheard-of figure of one hundred guns, the ship finally cost the equivalent of ten more conventional warships. In this book, John McKay sets out to analyze the data and reconstruct the design and appearance of the ship in a degree of detail never previously attempted. The results are presented as a folio of superbly drafted plans, isometric drawings, and colored renderings, covering every aspect of the design from the hull form to the minutiae of sails and rigging.

While a large number of books have dealt with the navies and war at sea during the World Wars, the immediate aftermaths have generally received only minimal coverage. However, the fates of defeated navies are of enormous interest from a number of perspectives. This new book traces the history of navies and ships of the defeated powers from the months leading up to the relevant armistices or surrenders through to the final execution of the appropriate post-war settlements. In doing so, it discusses the way in which the victorious powers reached their final demands, how these were implemented, and to what effect.

A Reconstruction of the Most Powerful Warship of its Day

JOHN MCKAY is a professional draftsman and an authority on the design and construction of ships from the sailing era. He wrote and produced volumes in the Anatomy of the Ship on the Victory and Bounty and also illustrated others on the frigate Pandora and the Flowerclass corvette Agassiz.

MELODY FOREMAN is the author of the bestselling Bomber Girls and co-author of A Spitfire Girl.

The Battle of Tsushima

BY PHIL CARRADICE In 1905, Japan and Russia were at war. With the Russian Far East Fleet destroyed, the Czar decided to send his Baltic Fleet half way around the world to exact revenge. This mammoth journey took many months and was, in itself, an amazing feat of seamanship.

But, at the end of this epic adventure, the Russians were totally overwhelmed and the vast majority of the fleet went to the bottom.

There was no alternative for the Czar but to sue for an ignominious peace.

The story of the journey and the final battle remain fascinating.

The naval battle of Tsushima is one of the forgotten actions of the twentieth century, but it has an immense significance in world history.

PHIL CARRADICE is a well-known writer and historian with over sixty books to his credit.

A poet, storyteller, and broadcaster, his most recent books are The Cuban Missile Crisis, The Call Up, and the novel Stargazers.

The Modern Cruiser

The Evolution of Ships that Fought the Second World War

BY ROBERT C. STERN This book sets out to provide a coherent history of the fortunes of this ship-type in the twentieth century. It begins with a brief summary of development before World War I and an account of a few notable cruiser actions during that conflict that helped define what cruisers would look like in the post-war world.

The core of the book is devoted to the impact of the naval disarmament treaty process, which concentrated to a great extent on attempting to define limits to the numbers and size of cruisers that could be built, in the process creating the “treaty cruiser” as a type that had never existed before.

How the cruisers of the treaty era performed in World War II forms the final focus of the book, which concludes with a look at the fate of the cruiser-type since 1945.

ROBERT C. STERN has published more than twenty books on military and naval subjects.

His previous books are Destroyer Battles, Fire from the Sky, and The U.S. Navy and the War in Europe, Big Gun Battles, and The Battleship Holiday.

The Russian Baltic Fleet in the Time of War and Revolution, 1914–1918 The Recollections of Admiral S N Timiryov TRANSLATED BY STEPHEN ELLIS The translation of these memoirs brings an important and authoritative historical source to those interested in Russian or naval history.

Rear Admiral S N Timiryov was well placed to make observations on the character of significant commanding officers and also many of the operations of the Baltic Fleet from 1914 to 1918. He trained their many of the key figures and shared battle experiences in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–5 and the siege of Port Arthur; and he spent a year in Japan as a prisoner of war with a number of them. InTimiryov’s subsequent career in the Navy As the Executive Officer on the Imperial Yacht Shtandart, he came into contact with new recruits of the Navy establishment and of the government, including the Imperial Household.

STEPHEN ELLIS studied Russian history at Duke University. He began to learn Russian at the University of New South Wales, Duke, and the University of Toronto where he was taught by Russian emigres.

WORLD WAR II The World’s Leading Naval and Military Publisher since 1898.

Torpedo Bombers, 1900–1950 An Illustrated History

US Navy Warships and Auxiliaries, 4th edition Including US Coast Guard

BY JEAN-DENIS LEPAGE

BY PATRICK BONIFACE

The torpedo-bomber reached its zenith in World War II, particularly from 1940– 42, with notable successes at the Battle of Taranto, the sinking of the Bismarck, and Pearl Harbor. It was the weapon of choice for both the United States and Japanese in the big Pacific battles such as Midway. In the latter stages of the war, increasingly effective antiaircraft fire and interceptor aircraft started to render it obsolete, a process completed post-war by long-range anti-ship missiles.

Jean-Denis Lepage traces the development of torpedo bombers worldwide, describing their tactics, operational history and the aircraft themselves, including such well-loved types as the Swordfish, Beaufighter, and Avenger.

Over three hundred aircraft are beautifully illustrated.

This pocket-sized reference book is organized into three different sections: the U.S. Navy, Military Sealift Command, and the U.S. Coast Guard. Each section begins with a brief introduction before moving on to the ships. Each class of ship has a color photograph, silhouette, and short description. In addition to covering ships, the book includes sections on the aircraft and helicopters of the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and the Coast Guard.

PATRICK BONIFACE is a journalist and broadcaster with over thirty years experience of writing for a range of naval and military magazines, journals, and books.

V & W Destroyers

A Developmental History

BY JOHN HENSHAW The revolutionary battleship Dreadnought of 1906 brought together in one package the new technology of oil fired boilers and steam turbines, and all-big-gun armament; in doing so she rendered all other capital ships then afloat completely obsolete. Ten years later the V&W Class did to destroyers what the dreadnoughts had done to battleships: they set a completely new and higher standard of technology and were a cut above anything that had come before. They were, however, less revolutionary than evolutionary and in this new book John Henshaw takes the reader through all the developmental stages with a detailed history of the step-by-step lessons that were learned, not all of which were fortuitous. The narrative is superbly illustrated with forty-five detailed profile and deck plans.

JOHN HENSHAW is a retired chartered surveyor, educated at Wesley College and Melbourne University. His book Liberty’s Provenance was published 2019.

JEAN-DENIS LEPAGE works as a freelance translator, illustrator and author. He has published several books with the accent on fortifications and World War II. His previous works include Hitler’s Stormtroopers.

RULES OF THE GAME

At Jutland in 1916, the British Grand Fleet, the most powerful in the world, finally engaged and should have crushed its German rival. It failed to do so, and this study aims to reveal that important failures in its handling of the battle originated in conflicting styles of command and different understandings of the rules of the game. Andrew Gordon here examines issues of peace and war relevant not only to Jutland but to all fighting services, and to the present as well as the past.

When published in hardcover in 1997, this book was praised for providing an engrossing education not only in naval strategy and tactics but in Victorian social attitudes and the influence of character on history. In juxtaposing an operational with a cultural theme, the author comes closer than any historian yet to explaining what was behind the often-described operations of this famous 1916 battle at Jutland. Although the British fleet was victorious over the Germans, the cost in ships and men was high, and debates have raged within British naval circles ever since about why the Royal Navy was unable to take advantage of the situation. The book is the winner of the 1997 Westminster Medal for Military Literature and was the Longman/History Today Book of the Year in 1997.

He has a PhD in war studies and is the author of British Sea Power and Procurement between the Wars, an acclaimed exploration of naval policy and administration in the 1920s and 1930s.

ORAL HISTORY PROGRAM

T

he Naval Institute Press is pleased to announce the publication of the oral history of Adm . Thomas H . Collins, U .S . Coast Guard (Retired) . Admiral Collins served for an eventful thirty-eight years, from the time he entered the U .S . Coast Guard Academy in the summer of 1964 until his retirement from being the twenty-second commandant of the Coast Guard in May 2006 . From the Cold War to the War on Drugs to protecting the U .S . homeland, Collins held six different major commands .

Admiral Collins’ oral history interviews reveal that he was a leader skilled at implementing organizational change in a dynamic and large institution like the Coast Guard . It was a skill he honed throughout his entire career and one he put to good use as he achieved greater responsibility . One of many examples of him being a change agent was his vision that led to the establishment of Coast Guard Sectors during his tenure as Commandant .

As commandant, Admiral Collins oversaw an aging Coast Guard fleet of cutters, aircraft, and communication systems and an active-duty force that was about the same size as the New York City Police Department . Despite the chronic underfunding of the Coast Guard, which readers are made well aware of throughout the interviews, Collins’ budget expertise the Coast Guard enabled to up to its motto of “Semper Paratus” and prevented any terrorist attacks in our nation’s 361 ports and 95,000 miles of waterways—no small feat considering the September 11, 2001 attacks and the concerns that the maritime sector was the next target . Moreover, Admiral Collins deployed Coast Guard personnel and platforms overseas in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in March 2003 . Finally, as if guarding the U .S . homeland against a maritime 9/11 attack and deploying forces in support of DOD’s combatant commanders weren’t enough, Admiral Collins also oversaw the transfer of the U .S . Coast Guard from the Department of Transportation to the newly created Department of Homeland Security in March 2003, followed two years later by the Coast Guard’s rescue of 24,145 lives and 9,409 medical evacuations in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina .

Admiral Collins’ memoir serves as an invaluable resource on a significant chapter in U .S .

Coast Guard history, as well as a testament to a remarkable career .
