Naval intelligence is one of the most vital, and sometimes
decisive, forms of intelligence. Over the centuries, and with
particular velocity over recent decades, the techniques of
detecting and destroying military (and commercial) shipping have
improved, leapfrogging the equally frantic race to keep ahead of
them and safeguard the huge investments involved. Today the new
challenges range from an increasingly aggressive strategy adopted
by Pyongyang's submarine fleet and the exclusion of illegal
immigrants heading for Australia and southern Europe to the capture
of cocaine-laded submarines in the Caribbean and the interdiction
of Somali pirates off the Gulf of Aden. Any accurate assessment of
the comparative threat these activities pose is just as dependent
on good intelligence today as it was to Admiral Lord Nelson in the
days of sail. The Historical Dictionary of Naval Intelligence
relates the long and fascinating history of naval intelligence
through a chronology, an introduction, a bibliography, and hundreds
of cross-referenced dictionary entries on the organizations,
operations, and events that made Naval intelligence what it is
today.
