Description
Fighting Techniques of Naval Warfare describes the fighting techniques of navies throughout the ages, from ancient times to the present day.
The book explores the tactics and strategy required to win battles with the technology available, and points out how the development of such weapons changed the face of naval warfare.
Divided into five sections, the text first examines the ancient methods of fighting at sea.
Fighting Techniques of Naval Warfare describes why some navies and admirals were more effective than others, and why certain tactics were successful or not.
Progressing through the ages, each section contains four key battles illustrated with maps to highlight the tactics in vogue at the time, while the accompanying text describes the equipment used by navies of the period.
The battles featured include Actium, Sluys, the Armada, Sacheon, Quiberon Bay, Lake Erie, and Jutland.
Using specially-commissioned colour and black-and-white artworks to illustrate the battles, equipment and tactics of the era, Fighting Techniques of Naval Warfare shows in detail the methods by which navies gained and lost ascendancy on the oceans.
