Using four warship-centered examples, this book shows how naval
battles are won or lost-and how technological advantage is rarely
as decisive in defeat or victory as is often claimed. Providing a
unique assessment of naval strategy and historic outcomes across
centuries of warfare, Understanding Victory: Naval Operations from
Trafalgar to the Falklands presents four case studies that examine
each ship-based battle narrative to expose and analyze the factors
that contributed to each side's success or defeat. The work opens
with an overview of the general causes of success and failure in
naval operations. Each case study starts with a detailed narrative
of the battle and then reviews the conflict from the key
perspectives identified in the introduction. These classic examples
of naval warfare underscore how the outcome of naval operations is
often predetermined by the clarity and quality of the mission aim,
and point out striking constants in naval warfare despite the
obvious differences in military technologies over a long span of
time. Focuses on four ship-centered battle narratives: the battle
of Trafalgar, the battle of Jutland, the sinking of the Prince of
Wales and Repulse, and the Falklands War Identifies 11 perspectives
that explain victory and defeat in naval operations Provides a
history-based survey of successful naval operations while
highlighting the nature of naval operations in the 21st century
Presents information written in a clear, reader-friendly style
without compromising on its scholarly standards of content and
accuracy Offers fascinating reading for naval college students,
general audiences who enjoy naval history, and naval historians
alike
